south sanders gas stations are all bagged over at the moment - my guess is that they are waiting till tomorrow to sell their gas - better profit margin by far.

...Or out.

Seeing as how they were besieged all day

9/12/2008 9:03:14 PM

just paid 4.09 at the bp just east of pullen park on western.

no one knows that gas station is there...

aside from feeling like the urban folks in their crown vic who were watching me were gonna pop a cap in my ass, i recommend it.

9/12/2008 9:15:59 PM

urban folks

9/12/2008 9:19:44 PM

I just paid fucking $4.19 for gas AND the pump cut off at 10 gallons. Fuck you all for crowding the fucking gas pumps all day driving the price up and leaving no gas for me.

9/12/2008 9:29:19 PM

the answer is motorcycle...~$13 to fill up my little 250 suzuki plus 70+ mpg = money in the bank

9/12/2008 10:14:23 PM

last tank of gas i bought was on labor day weekend. my truck hasn't moved since sunday when i drove to the walmart in garner and back.

9/12/2008 10:15:18 PM

I was in HT and this one co worker was like omg i just got this e-mail. everyone needs to gas up. gas is going to go up to 10$ in the next 48 hrs.

....

9/12/2008 10:18:03 PM

they should check the gas gauge in every car at gas stations right now. Anyone with more than a quarter tank should be shot on sight.

9/12/2008 10:24:26 PM

I topped my tank off this morning. Should get 350 - 400 mi on this tank, that'll be plenty of time for things to calm down. if not I'll buy a Honda Super Cub. Hell I want one anyway

9/12/2008 10:34:05 PM

3.89 for 89

when i passed the station on the way to dinner it was 3.79

10 cents in 2 hours

Been thinking the same thing.

9/12/2008 10:37:57 PM

filled up for $3.62 a gallon this morning at the Hess Station on 70

9/12/2008 10:54:23 PM

I'm here in New Bern. Seen prices from 3.79 to 4.45 today.

9/12/2008 11:00:09 PM

I wish I could ride my bike to work. it's about 15 miles there and up and down some major hills that I couldn't bike up yet. (aviation parkway)

Woot, price gouging laws are in effect now!

[Edited on September 12, 2008 at 11:11 PM. Reason : gouging]

9/12/2008 11:03:01 PM

So I just drove to cookout, the Kangaroo on Avent Ferry and the Hess on western were both still backed all the way out onto the road. This is why I filled up yesterday.

9/12/2008 11:14:32 PM

Heh, I was listening to NPR in the morning, and they were talking about how gas prices are going to spike for the "perceived shortage" from the hurricane.

Filled up my tank and two 6 gallon containers at $3.50-some, and laughed at the insane lines on Western in the afternoon.

9/13/2008 12:53:41 AM

The Crown beside the Cook-out on Western tonight was $4.89 for regular.

WTF

9/13/2008 2:31:00 AM

They're running out of the shit in Charlotte.

Be glad we're not having to wait in 10+ car lines or being denied outright.

9/13/2008 2:33:10 AM

you bitching about temporarily paying 4.89? I paid that for about 2 months until prices dropped to 4.25 recently

All these idiots who drove the gas price up by stocking up should get their gas stolen. I just went by the pump and for premium it was 4.60. FUCK

9/13/2008 9:28:46 AM

^I only filled it up because I knew that I couldn't stop it myself. If I hadn't been on empty with the little light on yesterday, I wouldn't have filled up.

9/13/2008 9:36:33 AM

dammit, i've only got a half tank on the saturn and 3/4 on the scoot

that's only about 225 miles i've got left before i need to fill up my stuff

i mean...that's like late next week or the week after!

9/13/2008 9:48:10 AM

haha. went to bojangles and passed the hess station with regular for 3.69 a little ways down the road but had bags over the pumps. It was funny watching all the idiots going in thinking they were gonna get gas for cheap.

I don't have problem with people like you who were going to go empty but most fucking morons filled up to max just to get it cheap now. This is what increases the gas prices every year when there is a storm. Refineries or pipelines getting closed don't help much either.

Anyways, hopefully some morons will take their full tanks of gasses

9/13/2008 10:35:09 AM

i had to get gas late last night and pray the place i went to was open and/or had gas there...otherwise i wouldve ran out of gas...thanks assholes who piled in at the stations during the day, i wouldve ran out of gas if i tried to get some at a normal hour...

late night i still had to wait on a car to get gas
