Gas prices on the rise?
 

Gas is $3.68 a gallon in my area at this moment. I stopped to fill up after work after my sister called to tell me that gas was rising over $5 a gallon by morning.

The lines are horrible. My son pumped regular gas, which is ten cents more a gallon than the plus, in the gas can for the lawn mower, then got the plus out for my van, which was almost half full already.

An alarm went off inside the store, and we were told that they were out of the plus gas. My son said it shut off on him, so I told him to continue filling with the regular. He put in just $3 more...LOL!

Anyway, I then left to get milk and the Kroger, which is a block away, had about 50 cars there. Most gas stations here are reporting they are out of gas.

I was supposed to leave for central Illinois tomorrow to pick up my new dog from a friend of mine. I will cancel if gas rises above $4 a gallon. I called to tell her this news and she's heard nothing of the gas problem. She'll keep me informed so I don't take an expensive trip.

Anyway, how are the rest of you, aside from those who are out of gas because of evacuations?

gas up here in the Louisville KY area is 3.74 - 3.89 . I to have heard it is suppose to jump but while getting gas tonight , I asked the attendant and he said he has heard nothing other than customers saying it is going up . So I do not know if it is gossip or not , tomorrow will tell. On the KY side its 3.89 on the IN side it is 3.74 for what it is worth . Go get the dog and enjoy it and the drive . I traveled about 50 miles to get my dog she was worth every mile of it . Don't stop your life just because of a little gas price gouging .

$3.55 in Mineola, TX. I guess we will find out tomorrow if it's goes up or not.

If the so called conspiracy theorists are right it will drop to about 2.50 by a glut of cheap gas...the purpose of which is an economic war with Iran for refusing to use American dollars...

I've been out and about all morning and the gas stations are NUTS!!!!

I had a half tank, but decided to go ahead and fill up before it goes up more. There are 4-5 cars deep on each pump.

It's $3.58 today (20 cents up from a couple days ago) and they are saying it might go up another $1.00

My ex-husbands best friend owns a service station here in Adamsville. It was $3.59 this morning and went up 20 cents before 10:00. He said that when his gas truck runs this afternoon that he will be paying $4.58 a gallon for it so that means his prices will have to go up again to reflect his increase.

I filled my car up at lunch at Kroger for $3.79 and had to wait 20 minutes to get to the pump. The cars were 4 and 5 deep at each pump.

I'm going to fill up now. Price here is $3.49... I'm not waiting on a price increase. I just talked to Mom... they are in Pigeon Forge... she said the price jumped 70 cents a gallon today.. and some stations are already out of gas.....

Re: Gas prices on the rise?
 

Not an issue here. I paid $3.46 today and that is down from last week. No lines, either.

Just got back home. Filled my van and Samantha's car. Cost me $80. Two of the four stations in town have already gone up to $3.79 since this morning. I couldn't believe that Exxon was one of the two that hadn't already raised the price.... since that Exxon station is usually the first to go up. The two stations that still had gas at $3.49 had lines from 4-8 cars deep... the diesel pump had the longer line because they only have one pump with diesel. I had to wait in line over 20 minutes to get to the pump. I can't even imagine what it's like since Dover has turned the employees loose. Hubby may have to wait an hour to fill up.
