Better go fill up now!

[5liter]

The gulf oil production is shut down due to Ike. Our gas has jumped from $3.47 to $3.69 today. Just filled up the Expedition for $87!:mj:

[Steve03SVT]

[blakedout]

$52 to fill my daily driver 1998 honda accord

 

[endless381]

It cost me $28 bucks last week to fill up my 97 civic=)

 

[aaandht]

Just got down to $3.25 here too.:bash:

From what I heard on the news the gas spike is from OPEC pulling production back by 500k barrels a day since demand has dropped. I also heard that Ike wasn't going to affect the gulf drilling platforms.

I saw $3.19 the other day, there was a line down the street

Generally when supply goes down, prices go up. And vice versa.

something else that is scary is that the last time oil was at 102 a barrel...gas was 3.10ish....its still 3.60 for regular here..

Drilling platforms and refineries are going to be effected. I filled up a couple days ago.

It looks like this storm is going to KICK OUR ASS!:nonono:

Funny how hurricanes in the gulf never seemed to effect gas prices until Katrina skyrocketed them. Now every single storm raises prices.

Well, I don't know too much about how hurricanes effect gas prices but a storm the size of Katrina doesn't come along that often. Maybe every 20 years or so one hits the coast with that kind of intensity. I guess if it's a really big/strong one when it comes to shore and there's a lot of platforms and refineries in it's path...yes it'll effect gas prices.

This Ike one is almost the size of Texas now but who knows if it'll maintain it's strength and size for the next 24 hours. If it hits Houston dead on and maintains a category 3 rating and above...it'll be trouble for sure!!!

I wish you guys luck down there in Houston...take care!!!

Later...Dave

I heard around work that it will hit $5 a gallon in the morning around the Augusta GA South Carolina border (dont know if it will hit that high but thats the rumor).

Thanks, will do. Enjoying a hurricane party right now. Town is strangely quiet, its kinda creepy. Calm before the storm I guess.

I went and filled up just in case too. I'm sure it won't go down and was at 1/4 tank anyway

 

[THE_STIG]

Filled the truck up a few days ago, put $50 in, got me almost 3/4 of a tank, I was happy.
