OUCH! A friend in Switzerland says when Swiss drivers come to a stop
light, they switch off their engines until it turns green.

$US2.89/US Gallon (4 quarts) in Charleston, SC.

No fuel shortage. Some guy on the waterfront noticed it now takes 2-3 days
to unload a tanker of gas and fuel oil at the Hess Oil Terminal. He asked
around and someone at Hess told him there was no place to store any more
fuel, all the massive tanks are full to the top. So, the tanker sits
waiting for another tractor-tanker to come unload some fuel before they can
pump more out of the tanker. Turn around times that were 12 hours have
turned into 3 days. More tankers are waiting off the coast.

He also found out not a single drop of oil coming into the Hess terminal
was from the Gulf Coast...none. It comes in from Aruba, Africa, wherever
Hess can buy it cheaper... Those of you paying premium prices just to get
some brand name need to be at the front gate when Hess opens at 4AM to fill
the line of trucks from all these glitzy companies. It's all the
same....Just the profit margin varies.

Last week I saw the Racetrac tanker truck off loading at the Shell
station. Price at Racetrac, 1/2 mile down the road, was $2.89. Price at
Shell was $3.05 for the same gas.
