I just got back from getting gas at Sam's Club on S. Saunders. It's $3.58 there now. All the gas stations were packed, but prices weren't much different than they were before.

9/12/2008 3:24:03 PM

$texas/gallon

9/12/2008 3:24:46 PM

someone just told me they saw $4.89/gal here in Raleigh b/c of Ike

I dont believe them, has anyone seen it that high yet?

9/12/2008 3:28:24 PM

yea fuck it i went ahead and filled up too.. only need a quarter of a tank. paid something like $4.20/gallon

9/12/2008 3:28:47 PM

One place on S. Saunders was like $4.69, it was the only one I saw that high - yet it was still packed.

9/12/2008 3:31:36 PM

It was $3.79 at the Exxon on Lake Wheeler and Centennial. look for places that are more out of the way, they're usually more expensive but now they may be cheaper

9/12/2008 3:32:25 PM

yeah i went through a few small towns around greensboro and there were some small mom and pop places that were still cheap and a few others but i was on the way to get a haircut and couldn't stop.. most of them were out of gas when I went back through so I just stopped at the first one that wasn't that busy since at most it was gonna cost me maybe $5 extra. It wasn't worth my time to keep driving around trying to find it cheaper/waiting in line

..although at some asheboro and liberty stations the cops are directing traffic (mainly places that still have it at the original prices)

9/12/2008 3:34:45 PM

hey idiots, if you don't NEED gas, don't buy it. You're only fucking everyone over.

(directed at no one in particular)

9/12/2008 3:37:22 PM

back when i was stupid about energy (katrina) I filled up and brought extra tanks. I look back at that moment in shame. Wont do that again. I did fill up last night, but thats because I had less than a gallon left. I had plans to go to wilmington this weekend, and I think Im going to be a reponsible consumer and just stay at home as that is gas that doesnt need to be wasted.

9/12/2008 3:37:31 PM

it's fucking stupid that's what it is. Causing panic to jack up their profits. American's stupidity lines their wallets, you fucking sheep.

Damn...I considered going there, but I was like
"Eh, I don't have a large tank. It's either going to
- be a zoo because it's cheap
- be a zoo because people think it's cheap
I need to get back to work...I'll get gas here"

...here being Exxon at Ileagnes.

I did the math, and it cost me a whopping $3 more, and I saved at least twenty minutes, I'm guessing. Given that I was off work where I make $10/hr...

And people drive past them out of habit.

Thank you
It's good to see sentiments like that.

9/12/2008 3:45:07 PM

Currently $3.95/$3.99 at Hillsborough & Faircloth/Gorman. Busy, but no long lines. The crown at Western & Kent/Method, on the other hand, is at $4.89. And people are still filling up like it ain't no thing...I wonder if they realize they could save almost $1/gallon by driving a mile or so to the east.

9/12/2008 4:26:41 PM

thanks to this thread I got gas lastnight

and sure enough it jumped up where I am

9/12/2008 4:27:16 PM

holy shit, i saved almost an andrew johnson by reading this thread last night

9/12/2008 4:47:02 PM

I FILLED UP MY CAR AND BOUGHT 8 20 GALLON TANKS AND FILLED THOSE UP TOO!!!!1

9/12/2008 4:48:52 PM

filled up on monday, still got 3/4 + left.... You watch, there won't be that many cars that dont travel this weekend (idiots)

9/12/2008 5:01:58 PM

^^ well i filled up 50 canisters AND put them all in my bomb shelter next to the peas

9/12/2008 5:03:07 PM

hess @ trawick is still 3.65 - it's a mad house though

i filled my spare gas can a few minutes ago, and skipped prolly 30 ppl who were waiting in line
they were shooting lazers out their eyes at me lol
it's not my fault i am smart enough to park in a different parking lot and walk over to the pump with a jerry can.

9/12/2008 5:05:25 PM

Gas is 4.89 on western.

9/12/2008 5:25:51 PM

wat?!

9/12/2008 5:26:49 PM

so gas goes from ~$150 a barrel to ~$100 a barrel and the price goes from $4.00 to $3.60.

This hurricane comes along and gas goes to +$5.00?

Right...

9/12/2008 5:30:57 PM

^it makes perfect sense if you realize that the price of a barrel of oil on the worldwide market has nothing to do with our possible gasoline shortage caused by refinery shutdowns

9/12/2008 5:33:34 PM

$5.09 for premium at crown at dan allen and western

lol @ people who were actually there

9/12/2008 7:22:31 PM

People were giving me mean looks today, as I filled up.................my boat

let's see you put that crude oil in your gas tank

9/12/2008 7:40:25 PM

hahahaha.. i think the most i ever filled up in one stop was at this place near home that doesn't have a limit per credit card transaction like the usual 50 or 75 dollar bs.. I filled up an old suburban, buddies F150, and both tanks on my boat.. it was around $400 back when gas was a good 1.50 cheaper if not more

9/12/2008 11:29:21 PM

crown at lake wheeler and tryon is out of gas...but they'd be selling it for 3.89 if they had it

9/12/2008 11:29:52 PM

I am not leaving the house for shit.

9/13/2008 12:06:00 PM

yes I am curious, I demand a TWW update!!!

I'm not driving if I can avoid it

9/13/2008 12:08:16 PM

the hess down from bojangles has regular priced at 3.69 but has bags over the pumps. Crown across western from subway is 4.89 for regular, mid-grade is like 4.11 at the station beside subway. $3.99 at the shell station near blue ridge/hillsbrough street with a 10 gallon limit, and 4.09 at the station at edwards mill and trinity

9/13/2008 12:14:56 PM

The station I went to this morning had signs on the pumps asking folks to limit their purchases to 10 gallons.

[Edited on September 13, 2008 at 12:16 PM. Reason : f]

9/13/2008 12:15:54 PM

ha, so I saved like 90 cents by filling up yesterday. GG TWW hysteria

9/13/2008 12:15:58 PM

good thing my matchbox car of a yaris only hold ten gallons

9/13/2008 12:25:41 PM

^ same with the Civic hatchback

9/13/2008 12:35:02 PM

With a motorcycle I am not as worried about the price as much as the availability. It's when places simply bag the pumps that I get concerned.

9/13/2008 4:24:55 PM

Filled up for $3.79 a gallon at the Shell on South Saunders this afternoon.

9/13/2008 4:34:30 PM

My gas tank is 80% full. I'll sell 4 gallons of it for $16 bucks. Its premium so enjoy.

9/13/2008 4:38:06 PM

lol

9/13/2008 4:39:23 PM

i saw gas on western for $4.89... i drove down gorman and got some for $3.99... idk what that was about

9/13/2008 4:58:47 PM

its called price gouging. apparently it's legal right now

9/13/2008 5:00:27 PM

I read this tread and I did my part. I hurried to the nearest gas station while it was still $3.609/g and just started pumping it out all over the street.

9/13/2008 5:02:01 PM

gf said she saw a full on fight (punches thrown, law called, etc.) at the gas pumps yesterday

i was sad i didn't get to see it
