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.

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. 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.

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.
