We had a gas station actually drop their prices down to $3.88 while everyone else in town was $4.09- which is nothing unusual for them. They like to be defiant I suppose.

Where I live Tuesday's are normally the cheapest days for petrol - when that happens there are normally huge lines, but I don't drive so much so I'm pretty insulated from that :) That’s pretty intense… Where I live Tuesday’s are normally the cheapest days for petrol – when that happens there are normally huge lines, but I don’t drive so much so I’m pretty insulated from that :)

What I don't get is that people will drive an extra few miles and wait in line with the car running... just to save a few cents on gas. It's like, you jackass, what's the point?

Its a total mess. Glad neither of us have to commute to work.. im not sure how we'd make it. Despite driving 5 miles to a photoshoot.. thats about it. Any shoot over 10 miles they pay me gas cost and time. My husband walks to work.. his walking distance is a nice 50 feet HAHA. So that helps... we will wait as long as possible to buy gas again.

But i knew the gas hike was coming since they closed the oil rigs in the carribean due to Ike. the oil hike is to keep people from buying the gas, however it never works that way, people always freak out and buy buy buy, of course we all have to get to work, but they hike the gas so that we will buy less of it, since there is less of it to go around.

(I know the family and they are furious!) I had to drive with a car FULL of groceries(nothing better than coming home from vacation to an empty fridge) with the gas light ON 20 miles PASS my home to get only 30 dollars worth of gas. (b/c they are regulating how much you can get.) >:-( Gas is 4.30 and the gas station up the street is predicting their next load will go up to 5.15 a gallon…BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF COURSE.
