gasoline prices

My husband just went to fill up the cars because Ike's going to cause gas prices to go through the roof. CNN is predicting the national average could go above $5 with the storm hammering the refineries.

We filled up today. I thought we'd be fine when I passed $3.50 this morning. I pulled in and it went to 3.79. I waited a couple of hours. Then, I only got Plus for 3.91. (Out of regular, and other stations had regular for 3.99, so I got a deal...) Husband found it a 3.79 before they raised it... Both of us had to wait in line.

Yeah, they had a 10 gallon limit, too. I didn't care. I filled up. I am not going to be paying out my ass for gas until I have to.

Now, 20 miles from here, it is $5.50/gallon. We;ve heard Fort Campbell is out of regular and plus. Clarksville is almost out of regular.

So I read this thread an 1 hour ago, and you guys made me nervous. When I got home just a little while ago, my car's tank was near empty. I had not paid much attention to the gas prices today, so I was just planning to fill up in the morning. Well, this thread made me go back out tonight. I ended up going to 5 different gas stations before I found gas. There were definitely a higher number of people than usual for 11:30 p.m. at the stations. I am just glad my tank is full.
