People said to buy gas Sunday night and then yesterday, the same gas station was five cents cheaper.

I'll believe it when I see it.

There's nothing you can do about rising gas prices, so I'm not gonna rush to the pump to fill up 1/2 a tank.

What's weird, the gas stations near me are in the $2.59 region, yet I went to a auto shop on the near west side about an hour ago, on Zarzamora, and the gas station across the auto shop was $2.39! Guess that will change by tomorrow.

Yeah, the poorer sides of town has cheaper gas. It's always like that.

The Valero dude was on the news.

I doubt it will be a dollar higher tomorrow. That kind of drastic change causes riots.

Gas prices suck but I'm not gonna run out and fill up. People are paying what.....20 dollars more a week on average? Cut back on the Starbucks sor movies or whatever and it all balances out.

[Instigator]

let's just say that the price will be about 3 dollars by the weekend.

[CharlieMac]

let's just say that the price will be about 3 dollars by the weekend.

Okay. That sounds good.

[scott]

I can only speak for a wholesale, out of the refinery gate level of prices... but prices have gone up around $0.64/gal in the last two trading days.

[Instigator]

right now gas cost the companies 2.89 a gallon to drop at the stores. it WILL go up higher.

Nini,
in the RGV I filled up both my vehicles @ $2.43 (regular unleaded).My SUV filled up with $50 and my car with $28.
Today in the morning while driving to work I passed by an HEB and they had about 40 cars or so(they were selling gas @ $2.43-probably want to empty their reserves from yesterday?) and accross the street a Circle-K had regular unleaded @ $2.99!

I am hearing on the news gas prices will probably hit an all time high within a few weeks @ $4!

I am usually not very stingy with $$$ but in these cases it starts to eat up in huge amounts at the budget.I usually go home during lunch and go to the gym and those activities are not very profitable now.Its time to get the bull from its horns!

Experts: $4 a gallon gas coming soon
Pricing analysts say consumers can expect even higher prices at the pump.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Consumers can expect retail gas prices to rise to $4 a gallon soon but whether they stay there depends on the long-term damage to oil facilities from Hurricane Katrina, oil and gas analysts said Wednesday.

"There's no question gas will hit $4 a gallon," Ben Brockwell, director of pricing at the Oil Price Information Service, said. "The question is how high will it go and how long will it last?"

White House to Release Crude Oil Reserves




United Press International



The White House has decided to release some of the 700 million barrels of crude oil it keeps against emergencies.

Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said administration officials have not decided how much of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to tap as loans for U.S. refiners, but it will open the SPR.

"The SPR was put in place specifically for this kind of an event," Bodman said. "We now have, in some instances, problems with getting crude to some refineries."

The 700 million barrels of crude oil is stored in a series of huge salt caverns along the Gulf Coast. Some of the pipelines and terminals that link the reserves with refiners remained under water Wednesday.

Crude oil prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange dipped 25 cents to $69.56 on Bodman's announcement. Crude prices had risen to more than $70 a barrel Tuesday before settling up $2.61 at $69.81 a barrel. Nine refineries, which account for about 12 percent of U.S. capacity, along the Gulf Coast are idled in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Nearly all Gulf oil production, which accounts for 25 percent of the U.S. supply, has stopped.

About 10 years ago GM and other US automakers embarked on a mission to make China "fall in love" with the automobile like America...

So glad I filled up at 2.38 the other day and haven't had to use my car much. But I have to get my sister tomorrow in elmendorf.. It's not THAT far but it will use up my gas. Sister needs to learn how to drive. haha

[maxpower]

I understand the thing about petro stocks rising on speculation. My question is why do gas stations raise their prices on gasoline they have in the tanks. I can understand when a new shipment comes in ...but the same gas that was selling for a dime less today reeks of regulated price gouging.

Time to take over venezuela.

[MannyIsGod]

Because companies that own gas stations are trying to stay ahead of the curve.

[CharlieMac]

I read a lot of gas stations in the affected areas region claim to not want customers and raise their prices until new shipments come in which is a way around price gouging.

[JoeChalupa]

I gassed up for $2.64 today.

tlanta Business Chronicle - 6:40 PM EDT Wednesday
Gov. Perdue acts to stop gas price gouging

Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue late Wednesday enacted a state law that prevents retailers from selling gas at an unreasonable or egregious price.

The law does not prevent price increases that accurately reflect an increase in the cost of the goods or services to the retailer, an increase in the cost of transporting the goods or services into the area, or an increase due to the market forces of supply and demand.

The Governor's Office said it has received today credible evidence that price gouging has occurred in parts of the state. "We will not tolerate the exploitation of Georgia consumers as we recover from the effects of Hurricane Katrina," said Perdue. "Violators of this price gouging statute will be punished to the fullest extent possible."

Gasoline prices have broken the $3 mark and come close to $4 a gallon at some metro Atlanta gas stations on Aug. 31, according to www.atlantagasprices.com.

At a press conference this afternoon, Perdue said the fuel shortage facing Georgians is a short-term problem. He also reported Alpharetta-based Colonial Pipeline, the largest pipeline distributing fuel into Georgia, expects to be operational again by Labor Day weekend.

Perdue said he asked the federal Department of Transportation (DOT) to lift truck driving restrictions, thereby allowing deliveries 24 hours a day. DOT has approved the request, allowing fuel to be more easily distributed throughout the state.

Late Aug. 30, the state waived gasoline regulations to help minimize gas price escalation and the supply issues associated with Hurricane Katrina. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) waived state requirements for higher additive gasoline required during the summer months until Sept. 15. Waiving the requirement will allow gasoline suppliers to bring available gasoline into Georgia to help alleviate shortages and keep prices to a minimum.

But prices are rising today. The Chevron at Fairview Road in Stockbridge was charging $3.78 a gallon this afternoon. The Hot Spot on Greenville Street in Newnan was charging $3.25. Many metro stations were charging $2.99 a gallon.

The lowest prices in metro Atlanta hovered around $2.45 a gallon.

Perdue asked drivers not to top off their gas tanks, and avoid buying gasoline until their gasoline tanks are low.

[Faccia di Angelo]

I spoke to my friend earlier and she lives in Atlanta. She said it was at $3.70. Said it is really taking its toll.

Haven't had to fillup since the night of Katrina, so don't believe yet. Get back to me next week.

:hat

[Vashner]

Yeah, the poorer sides of town has cheaper gas. It's always like that.

Also it's a bit closer to the refinery. The farther south the lower the transportation costs and time.

From southside to northside can be an extra 2 hours and several gallons of diesel to deliver. I guess it's also due to income in someways.

In the 90's I wanted to move to Corpus cause at the time they had DIRT cheap gas. Just was a lack of jobs there.

[rl64tx]

Haven't had to fillup since the night of Katrina, so don't believe yet. Get back to me next week.

I'm at a little less than a 1/4 tank, and I can't buy gas at any price. It's strictly bicycle transportation for me until supplies are replenished. I'm saving the 1/4 tank for any possible emergencies.

I did invest in a rear seat-post rack, a plastic basket (18x12x12), and some bungee cord today for my bicycle.

Interesting times.

We can always leave the union when everyone else runs out.. Our tanks will have gas in the 2038 civil war...

[boutons]

We were gassing up our boat in Maine. $2.85 regular. The harbormaster said they were limiting sales to 100 gals/boat, trying to spread the cheap gas around for the holiday weekend, since his gas distributor told him the next load would be $3.85 wholesale, pushing retail over $4.
