While coming home tonight from my parents house I passed(almost) a station
advertising gas for 2.85(BP) which is cheap considering all the others were
3.20. They had no 87 & 89, but had 93 for 3.19 so I filled my 25 gallons of
big can for my boat. Other stations had 93 for 3.60... so that's a deal
today! The big question, I got 60 gal in the boat in my garage... should I
go and have fun or save it for a rainy day?

I just bought some gasoline for my school. Originally, we had settled
on a figure for 87 Octane, but I eventually bought 93 Octane, since
the allocation of 87 was used up and it was no longer available.

Yep. Gasoline rationing is now going on at the fuel farm to
distributor level and I personally know of two stations that were out
of fuel last night.... though they may receive a limited delivery this
morning.

The reason I post is I asked my supplier what would happen this Labor
Day weekend and he replied that some people were likely to go on
vacation and not be able to purchase fuel for recreational purposes
and/or the RETURN TRIP.... due to stations just running out... due to
limited deliveries.

Two to three (or more) pipeline's pumping stations have been flooded
and it is impossible to "ship" gas to the fuel farms. This may last
for weeks.

Be safe.... don't get stranded....

We topped the tank on Friday when gas was $2.33/gallon then again on
Sunday when gas was still $2.46/gallon. All our cars were topped of then
also, as well as all our gas cans holding a total of about 10 gallons.

The boat holds 40 gallons and we burn about 6 gallons/hour.

We will be out (weather permitting) over the weekend. ;-)

If I have to put the boat to bed with an empty tank, so be it.
