Default how are your gas prices today?

Last night we were concerned when gas rose to $3.99. By the time I filled up at 1pm today regular was $5.50 and premium was $6.50 A lot of gas stations were empty, and those that had gas had frighteningly long lines. Jennifer witnessed a fight at one gas station, where two people were upset about the direction one driver faced his car.

Btw, we live in TN, and I'm not sure if this is happening elsewhere.

Have your gas prices risen today?

Ours have gone up forty cents in the last two days.

Just when I thought we were making headway with gas prices going down, here we go again with them going up.

ETA: Apparently the madness is starting here too. I just got a phone call informing me that gas stations here are running out of gas. Oh boy...

Holding steady at 3.75 here. But in Flint (nearest big-ish city), they've hiked theirs up 24 cents to 3.99. I imagine we're next.

Ours went up 0.13 / litre last night. That would be about 0.46 / gallon. Roughly about 10% overnight. Yuck!

They haven't gone up here in NM yet, at least not that I've noticed. Still just under $3.50. I'll have to pay more attention tomorrow if we go anywhere (we don't drive that much.)
