I was in Baton Rouge on Thursday and word spread that gas was about to jump to $5 due to Ike. Down a several mile stretch towards the interstate each station had lines into the street. One Exxon must have been 20+ cars deep. link: http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/business/28340164.html?index=1&c=y In my hometown of Slidell (just north of New Orleans)...Weds night either $3.53 or $3.59 (can't remember which) at Chevron; Friday night it had jumped to $3.79 and is still there as of this evening (Sunday). No issues with availability.
I topped up the fuel tank in my old Ford Fairlane today....... 83 Litres cost me AU $120. Normal unleaded was AU $1.44 p/litre. It would cost me $136 to fuel up the Ferraris 95L tank.
A little more than in the history, and a little less than in the future. Currently at +-1,50/litre ~ 7,9$/gallon Don't stress about it, in long term gas prices will never come down, so consume as much as possible now, you are practically earning money that way!
$4.24 for premium today off West End in Nashville. I didn't have the option of regular or midgrade (no Ferrari driving here).
Went to four,the usual on the way not off my beaten path,places yesterday for premium and nobody had any...two BP's and two independents,nada. Was looking for 5gals to maybe make a cruise up MtMitchell,have the highest 360 east of the Rockies...gonna wait. cheers, RE
