Paid $3.84 today

Postby Pastor Gary » September 20th, 2008, 6:11 pm

I filled up the Jeep at Costco today for $3.84/gallon.

First time I have seen gas under $4 in Hawaii in many months. :)

The Nashville news channels were reporting that stations were running out of gas. There were long lines at the stations that did have gas. It looked awful!

Here in Clarksville, Wal Mart has only regular gas that is running $3.88. It's prices are jumping up and down though and are not very steady right now. The base (Ft. Campbell) was selling regular at $3.72. :) Some other places in town were running anywhere from $3.88 - $4.25 for regular.

Gas in Nashville has been scarce. Today was better. Yesterday afternoon was a disaster. I only paid $3.99 per gallon, that sounds so bad (I only)), but went to 13 stations before I found fuel; I waited in line for an hour and bought $120 worth. I saw several today with long lines.

I have been working at a local petro farm where the fuel comes out of the Colonial pipeline. They are full to the max but not selling for some reason. They turned tanker trucks away most of the week.

My guess would be that they are playing a waiting game. Wait until everybody else is out of gas and then charge as much as they can for their supplies.

Do you mean there was no ethanol in the gasoline? The feds mandate that there be ethanol in every gallon.

Keep praying for God to lower the price of gas, folks. It's 3.33 her in KC, lower than it's been in quite a while
Why is it that bad decisions seem to make to most interesting testimonies?

FQ, no they don't yet. We sell no ethanol Phillips 66.

Our gas has been $3.89 since the Friday Ike hit Texas. We've been out of gas for the most part since last Monday at lunch. Right now, we have fuel and expect to have more tomorrow. I think the worst is over on the supply issues in the SE. It is not over completely, and not everywhere, but it will improve soon.

Prices? Well, if we keep bailing out every big corporation that fails, you can say hello to more expensive gas because the dollar is getting hit big time.

Everything up here in Mid TN has ethanol even Phillips 66 which is where I get most of my fuel.
