you being in the southeast, your directly effected by the halted production, and so you have higher prices. us in south florida have miami and tampa ports to bring in our fuel, so ours have risen, but not like yours. i just listen to the talk radio and their reports on the fuel production. we have the supply to meet the demand. we just have to get it from other places other than the gulf.

new orleans provides about a third, and not half of our production. and not all of it is cut. but about 90% of it is.

Storm-related production delays in the Gulf, which accounts for about a third of nation's domestic oil production, have figured increasingly into energy price jumps.

Originally posted by DarkFall01 Yesterday I drove by two gas stations...by one high octane gas was $3.02, the one right next to it, also high octane, $2.67...who the fuck would gas up at the higher place...there were still ppl there!

For some people, price is not an issue when it comes to filling up their gas tank. some people just don't see the necessity of going out of their way to find a station that is a couple cents cheaper.

but then again, thats a huge difference between 2.67 and 3.02. maybe it was just more convenient to the people driving. Were both stations on the same side of the road or was one across the street?

Last week I filled up at $2.79 a gallon & I thought that was alot. Today I filled up at $3.59 a gallon, WTF is this shit. It cost me almost $60 to fill up.

damn $5.87 a gallon.

I've been saying (not on TA) that we would definitely see prices around the nation peaking at or around $5/gallon before Christmas. I didn't think it would be so soon...

mind you, there will be price gauging by some greedy station owners. any price that far above the national average or local average is probably a price gauge.

after September 11 a lot of gas store owners were fined for jacking their prices way up.

i wonder if there'll be more penalties against store owners again.

Same side, right next to each other.
