How's the gas situation for everyone in the southern states going? It sucks here. There's no gas at any stations for 20 miles around me, and if you do find a station with gas the lines are a mile long or longer (literally). some of the stations are rationing gas at 3 gallons per customer. What the crap are you supposed to do with 3 gallons, unless you have a motorcycle? I'm glad i have the focus right now. It only has a half tank left though, and I hope I can even get to school. Guess I'll be siphoning gas from stuff around the house. Might have to get some outa the truck at the body shop, it's got one mostly full tank. :-\

I have not seen any lines. Filled up the old honda on Wednesday.
-
Here in H-town, there were ridiculous lines and closed stations for about a week after the storm. Now everything is back to normal, more or less.
-
No problems in Missouri, gas even went down some :o
-
Came up from the outer banks of north carolina today. Filled up in Kitty Hawk, NC at 3.69, no problem. Here in Richmond, no problem either.
-
No issues in MD either and only paid 3.29
Btw this is the first time I can remember paying less than 20 bucks to fill the tank

Must have had 3/4 of a tank left when you filled it up.(http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif)

No lines here in KY, but the prices are still pushing close to $4. I think I will like driving the chevy Aveo rental car for the next few weeks...lol
-
No problems here in florida, around 3.72 a gallon, costed me 53.00 to fill my 94 vision last night. Yep all back to normal around here as far as gas stations and the prices are slowly comming down again.
thanks

costs me $127 to fill up my sub, 33 gallons.
Just saw the evening news, the governor of Georgia is to blame for Georgia's shortage. apparently other states in the southeast, including Va, petitioned the EPA 2 weeks ago to supply less cleaner fuel (if that makes sense)--it has more sulfur. Due to supply interuptions from huricane IKE, EPA agreed. GA missed the bus. The governor didn't petition the EPA and instead was playing golf or something. Now there are long lines at the pumps in GA and stations running out.

Regular gas was $3.21 in rude jersey yesterday.
No lines yet around here, although i do remember the 79 lines; If your licence plate ended in an odd number, you got gas on tues,thurs. If you had an even number you got it on M,W,F etc.
i think it's 1979 all over again. Except this time Chrysler WON'T survive.
-
we had to go to south carlina to get gas last week and i am in north carolina and there was a guy shot in town for gas it is crazy
-
not seeing any of that here in Richmond, today's price; $3.39
-

i say that is in the not too distant future--what a way of life
-
Most of the gas stations here in middle Tennessee have had shortages for a few days. $3.84 for regular. $4.00 for diesel.
Stewart- it looks like Chrysler WILL make it- our wonderful congress has passed a $93 million package-separate from the $700 billion- to keep the govt. going and to help the big 3 automakers remain competitive. Toyota says they want no part of a govt. loan so they opted out (smart mgmt).

Saw gas this morning 3.19 a gallon go 20 miles south and it was 3.49 20 miles = .30 cents more something dont seem right
-
$3.17 at sam's club yesterday, $3.30ish on the street. Higher near the city.
$3.08 at carney's pt. NJ last thurs.
Diesel is 3.75 near my appt.
Like i said, there's no need to panic just yet; It cost me $48 to fill up at sam's club yesterday (15 gals). This was the truck and it usually lasts 4-5 days. There was a line at Sams and that brought back some not-so-plesant memories.
i think it is 1979 all over again and regarding the bailout of the big 3, i think it is a bad idea; What they need to do is fire/demote the current people who are in the styling dept. And then either re-hire the people that worked in the 60's/70's and/or hire people with some imagination. This, i feel, would solve their problems.
Even i could style a car better and i have little to no artistic ability. i did some doodling at work a few months ago and came up with a few good ideas which i will scan in when i get time.
-
here at ft bragg area the only real problem is that i cant always find the high grade stuff to run in my truck. it dont run well at all on the lower grades.
-

Lancaster County, Pa saw $2.96 this afternoon.
Boy, that's the cheapest I have heard in a while...must be because they don't use much gas in Lancaster County due to all the Omish using horse and buggies.
-
