Gas Availability

Here in Alabama - Oxford - regular is $3.15 gal. and suppose to be over 4.00 by the weekend.

They just announced on WSB that in the last 3 hours prices have shot up $3 a gallon on top of where they were. On the northside, some stations are selling for 5.99 a gallon, the rest for $5/gal. Gov. Perdue just issued state of emergency and put a price freeze in effect.

I dont think i've ever used this before on this forum, but...... :bang:

RiverOtter, bet get that gas for the boat quickly. You know if gas is priced at $5.99 9/10 per gal on the streets, it has to be $6.99 9/10 on the water.


Let me just announce, I will not be checking on everyone's homes. They are fine. I still have not bought that scooter. :bang:

I was talking to a friend today and we discussed gas prices. We both can afford to pay the prices, BUT this is such a wake up call...we will be discussing again with our kids the importance of fuel conservation. No unneccessary driving...turn the lights off!

Instead, how about encouraging our big oil govt to spend more money on researching alternative and renewable fuel sources.

I have a responsibility to remind my kids of their responsibility!! I feel like that pendulum is starting to swing back...not a bad thing though.

Oh my. I thought this gas thing was limited to Atlanta primarily. I just got this in an email from a good friend in Asheville:
"ALL gas stations in Asheville and surrounding
areas are totally out of gas and shut down. not expecting to
reopen for 6 days!"

Guess my labor day plans just changed...

Holy Cow! :blink: I haven't even checked the Nooga.

Well, Katie Blue, I guess you can get an tube and a six pack and float down the Hooch, if you are in ATL. Whatever you and everyone else do, I hope you have fun.😀

I'm having a party! Come on over Katie Blue. :welcome:

Kurt, if you are going to the beach on Labor Day, may I hitch a ride?:idontno:

Florida Power and Light produces most of their electricity from Natural Gas. They will be running out soon.

Wow! This is really widespread then. Looks like I won't be making it down there after all :( Thanks to all of you for the helpful info.

Are there any gas shortages in the area?

My family will be in Grayton Beach for the long weekend - have you all experienced any gas shortages or long lines at the pump?

Thanks! Jody

With Labor Day Weekend forthcoming, I think the lines will be arriving shortly, along with the higher prices. This afternoon, I noticed the Tom Thumb on 98/331 still had posted prices of around $2.59 9/10 per gallon of regular. Maybe they just have not had a chance to change the prices on the sign. The station had vehicles at all pumps. but no lines.
