Diesel just went under $4 this past week for the first time in probably a year.

Of course, we just sold the diesel to buy a bigger car for kid #2.

That's odd.... I was going to post that this morning I saw an all-time LOW: 3.23 on Morris Ave (82) in Union. (this station has the lowest prices in the area) I was so freakin late for an 8AM meeting that I did not fill up. Had to get gas on the way home from work @ 3.62 bc was right off I-78 in like Warren. I just bought $10, figuring I'd fill up at 3.23 in the morning... Wonder what price I'll see on the way in to work tomorrow!

The gas station here just told me that they're going up to around 5 tonight at midnight.

Supposed to be jumping to $4.50 a gallon today in Charlotte. I got gas Wednesday for $3.62, an hour ago it was $3.99 and cars were backing up main roads and exits waiting in line for gas.

Talk about speculation

$7.19 in Michigan this afternoon at one station Other stations are at $6.00+ Speedway still had it at $4.19 and sold out. Last week it dropped below $4.00 for the first time for us this summer ($3.95)

Today it jumped about 10 cents here. Must be due to Ike.

There were some stations gauging. Our governor now has state police patrolling and they want to know if any stations are charging that much. That said, the media reports of gas being that high led to mass chaos at all the gas stations. I drove past one that was selling for $3.82. When I went back to top off my tank, they were sold out. I drove to two more stations that were sold out and started feeling panicky. I ended up paying $3.92 and topped it off. I just went out for a little bit and the station by me that closed earlier had gas again and it was $4.05

I bought gas this morning for $3.79. This afternoon when I drove by it was $4.29. This evening [less than 2 hours later] it was $4.99.

I saw at least 3 stations out of gas this afternoon, too.

My mother called me this evening telling me to go buy gas. This is insane!
