Default Hurricane related gas shortage

Here in Alabama we are heavily impacted by the gasoline shortage created by Ike. Between panic buying over the weekend, and disruptions to supply due to the storm, most stations are out of gas as of noon Monday. Going to be an intresting week. Wondering what supplys are like in other parts of the country?

Default All the idiots here in town created a shortage...>>>

By overreacting to the News. These are the same people who buy up all the bread and milk when rain storms are predicted.
My Wife had to drive to Phila. yesterday and <ironically> bought fuel in N. Va. for $3.39/gal.

Default No shortage of those!

Like bread when they predict snow. Frustrating.
I can do without bread, but I may need some of this gas these idiots all hoarded up at once.

Default Here, too.

A couple local stations ran dry last week because of the rush caused by a scare about $5/gallon gas. It did increase the next day--from $3.85 to $4.15...

Default somehow CT (reported by my friend) is out of gas last night... HOw the hell is that possible? also

add insult to injury, they jack up the price like crazy even when the news clearly state the damage wasn't as bad compare to other major storms.
