Bastards!

Our gas prices here in the Charlotte area have been hovering around the $3.50 - $3.70 range depending on exactly where you are.....

Today a lot of the stations - especially the ones near my house - decided that $5.00+ was appropriate.....

Bastards....

Re: Bastards!

One station saw the error of its ways and changed back to the original $3.65 price.

Re: Bastards!

We are having "Runs" on gas stations here. They are limiting everyone to $30 in some places and we just $4.

Re: Bastards!

We have some stations doing the 10 gallon limit. Mrs Stoke says the 2 stations that originally went up to $5 at lunchtime but came back down now have lines backed out into the road....

Stupid people....

Re: Bastards!

I had a driver call me, and he said fuel in some spots in Mississippi were over $7 a gallon. There's a ton of price gouging going on and rationing... I hate that people think they can gouge prices and such because of some kind of disaster.. It's stupid.
