Still little or no gas here. I was stopping to see dd at work yesterday when I noticed a tanker and about 90-100 cars already in line, spilling onto the highway and adjoining side street, at the station across the way. I told her to go get in line (her boss is very understanding, i.e., no gas=no employee). An hour later she had $40 worth, the limit allowed, in her tank. This is just sheer madness!

This is just sort of crazy when California and almost-to-Canada Washington state are selling gas cheaper than the rest of the country.

I haven't checked lately, but Darren told me earlier he stopped to get gas. Something was wrong with the pump and it was pumping slowly so he only put $10 in (will fill up in town Sunday) and got close to half a tank. At one point he was paying about $35 for a full tank so it's still on the way down. Should have asked how much it was per gallon.

Shocking that some people are still without gas :-(

Down to $3.77 here yesterday.

Thought we were doing good when we filled up at $3.27 in Kansas City yesterday. Got home and it was $3.22 here. When I went out last night to get some groceries and fill the car up it had dropped to $3.19. With the stock market dropping I'm sure it's going to shoot back up, but am enjoying it while I can.

Dh lucked out this morning. Local station had gas and no lines. $3.99 for regular with a $50 limit. $30 of it went into gas cans so that he can run his lawn tractors. Hope that doesn't sound frivolous, but keeping the grass mowed around here deters snakes and rodents from nearby fields.

Couch, there was something on CNN earlier saying they were really working on it, and more would be on its way by the weekend. Hope you are able to do what you need to do until it improves. (Snakes, arggg!)

Thanks Kitt. I skipped my workout Monday--felt guilty driving 22 miles roundtrip with no other errands to do. Heading out tomorrow & Thurs with several stops planned.

Saw on local news that the tankers were lined up, waiting to be filled. They've got to get more gas into this area. NASCAR is here next weekend and that'll bring in at least 120.000 people. Maybe Bruton Smith has some pull,lol.

Couch, LOL about Bruton! But it is so true! And I am all for DH cutting the grass to keep the snakes away - ewww!

We were up in the mountains this weekend and finding gas was easy up in Ashe County. Got home tonight and the first gas station off of our exit in Fort Mill was empty but the next one had gas with no lines. I hope we have seen the end of this madness. It really does remind me of the 70s gas embargo and having to only get gas on even or odd days based on your license plate #.

I don't care what I have to pay as long as I can get it when I want it

Yeah, I hear you Beach. But at least during the embargo we _could_ get gas! And, shhh, don't let know that you (and I) don't care about the price.

Still $3.99 here. My local station is $3.89 but hasn't had any gas for over a week! Today on my travels, 4 out of seven still had their pumps covered.

$3.03 - will it get down to less than $3.00? I keep waiting for it to spike up.

Had to stop and take a picture!



Never thought I'd see the day it would be under $3 again!
