Well we're still super low on gas. On average only one gas station in a five mile radius has any fuel at all. And when you find it you better be prepared to wait an hour in line. And you can't be picky on the grade either. Man this sucks really, really sucks. Some are saying things should get back to normal in about a week others are saying three to four.

So any one wanna tanker some good ole 91 to me here in Marietta?

Convert your motor to run on JP-7?

The bass should have some of that around. I'm sure you could buy a couple gallons...

JP-7 has an extremely high flash point. It was made for the SR-71. You could literally drop a cigarette in it and it would go out. Aircraft fuel has a high level of kerosene in it. Diesel cars and trucks could run on it, but not a gas car. I know the base probably has plenty of gas for their vehicles, but I would not want to get caught trying to fill up my POV. You could ne a new resident of Kansas, Leavenworth that is.

Gas dropped to $3.19 today here.

$4.09 a gallon here

Ike shut down refineries, people panicked and were stopping to fuel up when they still had 3/4s of a tank. Ever since then the panick has been on refineries haven't had a chance to catch up. So currently the demand is far out stripping the supply. It's 1973 all over again here. Cops are taking up shop at gas stations who have gas to keep the violence down. Fuel truck drivers have been threatened with their lives etc. It's an ugly ugly world here right now.

Ike did shut down the refineries along the gulf coast, which supplies about 25% of the nation with gas. At the time the refineries shut down, they only had a minimal amount of fuel on hand. The refineries were shut down for a couple of weeks. Once they were due to come back online, it will take a couple of weeks before the tanker trucks will be filled and on the road for delivery. Refineries are back online and I think they were saying things should start clearing up within a couple of weeks.

Luckily here in Austin, we get our fuel from the Corpus Christi refineries which were not affected by Ike. We have not seen any shortage here in Austin.

Mine is 3.56. My half sister who live in GA. Her house is around 20 miles from Atlanta. She has to wait for 1 hour and half for get gas. eek

I can't imagine for that. I'm glad I'm not from South but man it is really suck. I heard some school closed and some people have day off for work because they couldn't get gas. It should back normal in 2 weeks later or so.

It's slowly getting better. The bigger 24 hour stations like QT and BP had all pumps running this morning with no lines. Only problem was 87 octane only at 3.97. It was either fill up or run out. So looks like more babyin the throttle for me.

Dang, that's high price. My gas station just change to $3.46 right now. I was hoping it is under $3 which I'm okay with that. I guess I will have to wait and see. It is getting drop few cents since Ika ($3.99). No gain yet.
