How about them gas prices now

[Will]

SO tonight I did what has become the normal loop... I head into vinnings to the first QT (small, like 12 pumps) no gas, keep on to the BP, limited supply and lines on the street both ways. So hang a left on Cobb parkway and take a left again, Exxon on the corner, out of gas. Head on up to the big QT station, out of gas. Keep on going, Bingo Shell has gas... no unleaded though, mid grade at $4.29

So why is it Cobb County is low on gas when other counties are fine?

People hear "low" or "no gas" and they all run to the pumps, killing the supply that would have been fine given normal buying conditions. There's not enough gas for everyone to fill up in a couple of nights.

I think part of it is the people running out to fill up, but the big thing is that gas in and around Atlanta has to have special additives to reduce emissions. That's why the small cities still have it, and the metro is running out. I saw on the news that the Governor was temporarily removing the restrictions.

Cool, never heard that.

The Governor had to appeal to the EPA to lift the ban, and they approved.  I was actually surprised that they did.

as cool as it has been in the mornings I am about to back on the crappy back tire and ride to/from work!

I mean seriously... watching the news its getting sad. Lines at stations, fights breaking out, folks on the side of the road with no gas, AAA running wild to fill up folks. Hell they have even gone so far as to suggesting cancel the UGA vs Bama game due to folks may have no gas to get back from Athens.

Yeah, people are dumb!

Finally my Ram with a Cummins comes in handy for something other than towing, there seems to be plenty of Diesel, and the price finally got back closer to reality, not where it should be for crude oil but it is closer.

That SUCKS. We never had this problem before Katrina, I thinkthis whole thing is as bogus as a Halmark Holiday. Just another way for the oil companies to post more record profits.

x2. They just seen how great it worked last time. Same thing again. Had tons of hurricanes before katrina hit the same area and it had never been a problem when we were paying $0.80 a gallon
