Previous to Wednesday the last time I gassed up my car with regular I recall paying about $3.85 at the local Mobil which I always use. Going to the dentist Wednesday I noticed that a Shell station had regular for $4.14. Surprised me. I stopped at the Mobil and filled up after the dentist and it was $3.94. My wife filled up her car at the same place Thursday and paid $4.04. I'm hearing that something like 50% of refining capacity is where Ike is about to hit. Doesn't look too good. Hearing $5.00 gas, and saw some stations have it over $5.00 in NC. A sailboat with a small motor or a powerboat that can be pushed with a weedwhacker motor are starting to look like good options. Just gassed up my wife's car where I got it for $3.85 Wednesday. $4.08 now. Should last her a couple weeks. Lucky she has a short commute. Daughter just gassed up her Mitsu with premium. Said it's up 40 cents. Heard there's a lot gouging going on in the gulf states. That CraigCat is looking better. --Vic Why premium? Eisboch |
