Question Gas shortage in your area?

My area, Some gas stations are out of certain type of gasoline. (ie: Regular) Also some are all out of stock. Price shot up in $3.09 range per gallon now here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. More gasoline will be resupplied sometime on Monday.

I wonder whether your area gas station is either short of supply nor out of supply?

I question whether this kind of practice is sending a baddest message for economy? (Anyone much older than I am have experienced similar in 70's can remember well how affect it was?)

Hey, Jimbo, I do question whether your Bush's economy is in good shape when such gasoline shortage is happening here? If this trend contiunes.... Then what?

There's plenty of gasoline in my neck of the woods, JJ - but it will cost you $3.39 per gallon for regular. Suddenly, driving at or just below the speed limit just became very attractive!

Yes, Must agree with that paragraph! I notice the same thing here, including myself. I save around 2-3 miles more per gallon under that condition.... Unless I see someone goingNASCARcrazy then I floor it!

You're only human, right? I still accept challenges from other drivers on occasion but with a Ford minivan I've yet to win one. But at least I can carry seven collectors and some 1:400 models in back. Take that, Corvette drivers!
