I run a c-store in west TN. and thought I would warn everyone to buy gas. This is not speculation, I've got the price changes from three different refineries. The lowest gas price I have so far is 3.05 a gallon. The worst is from one refinery that jumped .60 cents in one day (BTW prices jumped only .10 on 9/11/01) to an amazing 3.34 a gallon. :banghead:

This is my buy price at 6 PM tonight

Sometimes it takes a day or two to use the previous fuel in the tanks, and when prices spike,we (in general) do not raise the price all at once. I just changed our prices from 2.48 to 2.69

**Guys, don't turn this into a political debate. This is not the place.

Thanks.

At least do it in the Pub. Also no flaming allowed here.

Thanks boss! Gas prices are depressing enough without hashing them out in here!!!!!!!! Lets remember the victims of Katrina and worry about gas later!!!

Painful = Vol Navy

This is sure to push prices at the marina over 3 bones. And, for those who don't have a boat, they aren't exactly "fuel efficient" (unless you own a canoe). OUCH!

They're talking about rationing gas out here in AZ. Evidently we have a different mixture that's in short supply.

Time to buy stock in Schwinn!

Some places here in the tri-cities area have already rationed it.

Im hearing $30, or 10 gal.

Some stations have ran out until at best the weekend.
