It was $1.49 on Sherwood about 30 minutes ago. Prices are still adjusting I guess.

I topped off my vehicles but I’ll start hoarding gas after I figure out why I need to hoard toilet paper

Gas is cheap, I mow an acre, mower used about 5 gallons every two .weeks, I’m buying as much as I have cans to store it in!
Jesus god, do you mow it 4 times?

I had an acre+ for 13 years that I mowed weekly with a 28” Snapper (think Forrest Gump’s model) and it took about a gallon per cut.

Gas is more expensive in the AP than anywhere else because the Robert family has a monopoly on distribution. They control the entire supply in the Parish.

This is the answer

Every 3 days some dude on here says he saw people filling up gas cans

That's because periodically people fill up gas cans

It's not a gas crisis, you're just being observant for the first time

I bought 4 gallons of ethanol free today for my lawn tractor , walk behind edger, and my max daddy Cub Cadet trimmer/mower. Yard looks great!

Many people you see getting gas in tanks are doing it for the same reason.

Cutting grass?


I filled up my 5 gallon can last week for my mower and some dude was staring at me like I was hoarding the supply. This stuff is so stupid.

People do panic.

I was filling up three the other day. It's mowing season and I have two four wheelers I plan on using and gas is cheap...

Lady walks up and starts asking me why im filling up gas cans and if she needs to get some.

People are definitely on edge.
