Price of gas update...

Re: Price of gas update...
There's a lot of gouging going on in the Atlanta area thanks to the shortage caused by this pipeline leak. They are saying that 250,000 gallons has been lost!
One station was pictured with a price of $4.69 for regular and made it to the news. They have since dropped it back to $2.79. Many stations were completely out of gas yesterday.
I'm betting that once the problem is resolved, the prices don't drop back to where they were! Lucky I filled up on Friday at $1.88!

Bloody typical!!! I go to SC for the weekend to collect my new (to me) 2002 gas guzzler and the gas prices go through the roof.
$2.039 at my local on Friday afternoon, expected $1.879 at the SC 'local' near our destination. Paid $2.159 on the way up in Georgia, and the SC local was at $2.099 Saturday afternoon.
Lots of pumps bagged at the two stations we stopped at on the return journey and saw some places advertising unleaded at $2.499 beside I-95. Just filled up at my local back in FL and it was still $2.039.

FWIW I filled up with as much gas as I could easily get in my truck this evening (Sunday) at $2.299 , but mostly I was glad to find gas at all, as I saw one station that had sold out already on Saturday afternoon, when I wasn't out in my truck. With a bit of care I could get by for a couple of weeks without gas if I needed to.

Re: Price of gas update...
Went from 1.05/liter (CAD$) about 10 days ago, to 1.18/liter (CAD$) last weekend, and now has settled at 1.13/liter. (CAD$)
1.05 to 1.18 was one of the biggest 1 day increases I have ever seen.
Was able to get gas before it went up to 1.18 and have been on the same tank about 10 days now, luckily we don't have to drive much.

Cumbies in town went up 5c to $2.08G with their discount card. One a town over went down a couple of pennies to $1.99G.
Seem to have a range of $2.05- 2.25 for most places for the cheap stuff in the area though.

Cumbies in town with their discount card is $2.01G this morning but most places are around $2.11 but the Mobile across the street from the bulk place is $2.35G.
There hasn't been much change in the range lately.

Florida gas isn't delivered through the Plantation Pipeline between Baton Rouge and DC. It runs through central Alabama, northern Georgia, upstate South Carolina, the North Carolina piedmont, and then through eastern Virginia. I don't know where gas comes from in Florida, but it isn't the pipeline that burst in Alabama.
FWIW I filled up with as much gas as I could easily get in my truck this evening (Sunday) at $2.299 , but mostly I was glad to find gas at all, as I saw one station that had sold out already on Saturday afternoon, when I wasn't out in my truck.

I paid $1.859 at a station just South of Columbia SC, off I-26 on 3rd November, it was somewhat busy!!!
Held steady at $2.059 for quite a few weeks in FL but I saw $2.039 today. No doubt it will spike when I go to fill the gas guzzler later this week!
