Gas Prices!!
 

I've been hearing some serious rumors, I call them rumors because I didn't get the info first hand. I heard from one person(girlfriend) that someone on the phone said gas was $4.50 a gallon in LA. I also heard at the pump, a lady jumped out of the car and started pumping saying that gas was over $5 a gallon in OK. Prices are changing in Charlotte(same woman). Lady behind the counter at gas station "My husband called and said gas was over $5 a gallon in OK, he heard it on the news".

I gotta go fill up every tank and gas can now, just thought I'd let you guys know..

Yesterday after work, EVERY gas station in Dallas (that I saw) had line ups to get gas. I was lucky an sneaked in and topped off the tank. Gas was still only $1.63 (93 Octane), but I've heard the same things, $3-$4 a gallon!

Prices here in Indiana went up to 5 bucks. Then the attorney general stepped in and is pissed!! He said for all those who raised there gas prices without reason will be prosecuted. All customers who paid this ungodly amount to save there gas reciepts and mail them in to the attorney general and get a refund.
The gas prices today dropped back down to 1.58

Skyman- What was meant by you saying that you paid 1.39 for 87 octane last week??

I havent been able to buy 87 octane for under 1.55-1.60 for the past month.

I sure hope they prosecute those who gouge the gas prices.

Also, on that note, everyone better watch out for internet scams and bogus "funds" for disaster relief, etc.

In Oklahoma? Is that what you were saying? A few places raised there prices really high, but are getting prosecuted for price gouging! Gas was $1.55 yesterday, and it is $1.49 today! So in Oklahoma it is $1.49, chill out, if I see one more post like this I'm going to go nuts.

gas wasn't changed at all here in arlington (for those who don't know, the pentagon is IN arlington, not DC like the news idiots are saying), but i have talked to a number of people across the country paying upwards of $4/gallon for gas.

i saw a station yesterday at $6.89 for premium, it was a small station here in Terre Haute, In. and there was actually people there getting gas, little did they know the station down the street still had it at normal price, the price went back down today though, i guess they found out how much trouble they could be in
