Gas has hit $5.50 here today

Someone I now saw over $5.00 a gallon here (in Raleigh) earlier today. I think it was just one station "gouging". The highest I can find locally when searching the 'net is $4.19 for regular. s***. This sucks.
 
gas has been dropping like nuts where I'm from (bay area). went from like $4.30 for unleaded down to $3.90 right now.

s***, 93 oct used to be 4.70 in NY, dropped down to 3.93 at some places now. this damn storm didn't even hit yet and it's supposed to go up drastically. that's bs man.. sad thing is, we can't do s*** about it.
 
On my way home from work I saw several stations with regular at $5+. I passed like three stations before I found any regular PERIOD... I'm in Jackson, MS. They're saying that by next week, there won't be any gas here...

wow u better gas up all your cars dude.
 
Yeah, we did. Most of the stations here started limiting each customer to 10 gallons at a time. Luckily, my little honda has a 10gal tank, so it filled me up!

lmao good thing s*** like that doesn't happen up here in NY. the price definitely kills us though, traffic in the city is a b****.
 
It's bull, the holding tanks at all the distributors around here are full. It's price gouging, nothing but.
 
my car is empty ill use my bike this week hopfully gas will come down soon im not going to pay 4.70

i can think of three reasons.

1 opec anounced they were cutting production.

2 huricanes came through back to back and the oil platforms were maned for 1-2 days before they had to re evacuate

3 20% of the refinarys are in galvasten right where it hit.

4 just thought of it but speculators getting back into the market.
 
I'm afraid to go check. Even though this state has stiff gouging penalties, if no deliveries to SE are expected we are just at the mercy of the stations. Shouldn't impact anyone not supplied by a Gulf coast refinery.
 
Guess I could of worded my post better. No doubt they will use any circumstance legitmate or otherwise to stick it to everyone. Unless your local refineries shut down and no deliveries are made, it should not impact you in the West, Mid-West, Mid Atlantic and NorthEast.
 
i just paid 2.55 a gallon for non-ethanol in wnc 93 oct
opps! very old thread
