Pugs Posted September 15, 2008 Author #477 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Still many stations out of gas here in Western VA. The news just did a story that they are investigating many for price gouging. The chain stations like Kangaroo, Sheetz, and Stop-in have stayed around 3.99 a gallon. Many of the independent ones have jacked their prices up over $5.00 - they found one station with $5.69 regular. They always seem to be located across the street from one that is out of gas so it looks like they are out to take advantage of the situation. :( I think the last time I filled up I spent $43 but that was three weeks ago. I have an 07 Camry Hybrid and really love it! I am soooo glad I won't have to fight the madness and fill up any time soon. Tampa has a lot of stations out of gas already:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedhalo Posted September 16, 2008 #478 Share Posted September 16, 2008 What makes it even more despicable is that you know the gas they're selling was shipped way before the storm, so they didn't pay an "inflated" price for it:mad: On top of that, according to reports at this point, only about 10 platforms were damaged in the gulf and the refineries didn't suffer any major damage. Some people just live to take advantage of a situation....hopefully the states attorney's will take care of these "merchants":rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not say that when DH is near as he wanted me to get one when we bought the one I have. I was, then changed my mind, decided the bugs might not be worked out in them. My good friend has one and loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tuckersmom Posted September 16, 2008 #480 Share Posted September 16, 2008 BSQ, just wanted to let you know that you are no longer alone with the annoying and unproductive cough. I`ve developed one durning the day today and sure am gonna hate having this cough for a week or two. That`s what always happens when I get a bad case of sinus. Will not wait to long before going to the Dr. if I get to coughing and losing lots of sleep. Do hope that you feel better by now. Good evening to all the lifers. Pugs sorry you were so busy today,you may need to sub to get some rest .:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REAMMI Posted September 16, 2008 #481 Share Posted September 16, 2008 What can you say....some people are idiots:rolleyes: As much as I drive (300+ miles to & from work ea week), it really hurts when the cost of gas goes up a lot:( It really sucks when it costs over $60 to fill up a Toyota Camry:eek: I hear ya Crook. I drive 600 miles a week just for "w" (60 miles each way). It definitely adds up. I can't remember the last time I filled my van up. I usually go with $50 at a time and it lasts for 2 days.

REAMMI Posted September 16, 2008 #483 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yeah, I wish I could say that about Maryland - last time I looked (and I try not to do it often, cause it makes me cry:( ) about 40 cents per gallon is taxes here:mad: Gas may be the only bargain we have in NJ. We have the highest property taxes in the United States :mad:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSQ Posted September 16, 2008 #484 Share Posted September 16, 2008 evening Lifers! Been a long day at the W place. Who's ready for a cruise you ask? ME! I'm on vacation in 11 days. It can't come soon enough! Tuckersmom, sorry to hear you have the cough too. Mine has come from my allergies, and while it's much better, it still annoying as all get out. I think my co-w'ers are ready to strangle me! Hopefully I'll be done with it this week. All this talk of gas prices. Weeee. I have to gas up tomorrow morn. I think we're at about $3.58 a gal here. I drive a MINI ... I shudder to think what I'd be spending if I still drove my Vette everyday. It got 11 MPG (I think ... I calculated it once long ago and then fainted!) :eek: Time to call it a night. Coffees set to brew, Ed should be waking up shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
