So...did all of you fill your gas tanks today?

[CoffeeCat]

I was wondering if I'm the only "Chicken Little"?

I'm anticipating $5+ for a gallon of gas, if Rita hits near Galveston--which looks almost certain.

We were down to 1/2 a tank in both cars--so I filled them both up.

Anyone else?

Anyone hear any buzz on gas price predictions, or is anyone experiencing higher gas prices in your area?

We're down to $2.49 for unleaded.

[CatholicEdHead]

1. Down to $2.49

that is pathetic.

[CoffeeCat]

6. I know!!

I thought the exact same thing, when I typed that out!

It's pretty sad when we're down to $2.49 a gallon.

They're getting us used to sky-high prices!

[Pirate Smile]

21. We were too but today it went up to $2.59. Tomorrow? The sky's the limit.

[Deja Q]

2. Yuppers. $2.39/gal

Will do tomorrow too.

And not drive much after that.

[Earth_First]

3. Filled up tonight at $2.99

and that was a deal from the past three weeks!

Here we go again!

[Jawja]

4. $2.69

in Midtown Atlanta. My tank is full.

[Left Is Write]

5. Didn't take the car out at all today, but plan to fill up tomorrow.

I'm at about 3/4 tank. The lowest gas price I saw yesterday was 2.839.

I have to take my son to preschool and my daughter to work tomorrow and thought I'd fill up then.

[Momof1]

7. I called hubby at work

And told my friends. I don't think we will got $5, here probably $4. But just in case, a full tank of gas can't hurt. I don't know what the prices are now, it keeps on changing

[SW FL Dem]

8. Filling up tomorrow morning.

I filled up last weekend for 2.69 for regular. I have no clue what to expect for tomorrow, but I think it will only get worse over the short term.

[Left Is Write]

13. If recent fillups are anything to go by, there will be a line tomorrow.

The "cheap" station always has a line.

[Madrone]

9. 2.89 in Cle Elum, WA

That's at the CHEAP place (consistantly 20 cents below every other station in the area)

[Papillon]

10. Filled up today at $2.67

[EFerrari]

11. I live in a city and got rid of my car.

That's about a $1,500 monthly expense off of my back. Without counting the gas worries.

Good luck, you all. This looks really ugly.

[tedoll78]

12. Yup.

My partner and I filled up both trucks tonight here in Austin for $2.59/gallon.

I'd also suggest stocking the pantry; with diesel about to become in short supply, food is going to skyrocket in price.

[DearAbby]

14. Topped off the tank at $2.83.9 gal.

I also feel the price of just about everything will continue to rise. Wonder if I should also consider filling the pantry.

[Left Is Write]

15. It couldn't hurt. I was thinking of heading to the grocery store tomorrow

anyway. I might as well lay in a stock of staples and non-perishables.

[txindy]

16. Filled it up yesterday. $2.61/reg. unleaded. Same price today

I didn't want to wait. I know what's going to happen to the prices and availability. No point in waiting.

[Rainscents]

17. I filled the tank yesterday at 2.81 at Everett, WA. CITGO

[Hissyspit]

18. Have gas stored in the garage. Filled at $2.75 today.

I'm in NC.

[HeeBGBz]

19. Yup, $2.49

I'm sure it will get worse.

[AirmensMom]

20. Hubby filled both cars @ $2.829.

One was almost empty. Filling the H/D in the AM. We'd only spent $15 on gas this month b/c he was taking the motorcycle to work. We spent a bundle today, though.

[I_Will]

22. Topped them both off...

I did, after reading a post elsewhere on DU that said in Ontario, Canada gas went from $1/liter to $1.99/liter! A liter!

[Domitan]

23. It's already doubled here in Southwestern Ontario

from 95ish to 189ish!!!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. Yes, I did...

I also called my daughter and reminded her to do so too. Being that we're both in Texas I don't think it was out of place to expect some gouging here. I'd rather not add to someones profits if they choose to gouge if I don't have to.

[kestrel91316]

25. Down to $2.85 here finally. Will gas up tomorrow and buy bus tokens

so I can bus to work if need be, and walk home. Saves gas; trims the behind also.

[lectrobyte]

26. Actually I did, but I was down to 3/4 tank anyway, and 2.69 looked

like a bargain.

[rainbow4321]

27. Topped it off this morning at $2.50/gallon in Dallas.

Did the same thing pre-Katrina, never did have to get gas while it was $3+/gallon. Luckily everywhere I have to go is within 4 miles of my house <kid's school, my work, grocery store> so I can go 2 weeks before I hit empty.

[mountainvue]

28. Filled up yesterday at $3.04 a gallon.

Filling up the other car this evening.

[all.of.me]

29. no!

i went to town with that intention, but when i got there, gas had gone DOWN 5 cents today! so i drove through town to think on it, then decided to put some in one car. i'll do the other tomorrow, and hopefully it'll go down before it goes back up. i told my kids, though, that it'll skyrocket after this. this is like the calm before the storm.

[Porcupine]

30. $2.93 in Chico CA. Best price in town. $42 for Chevy S-10

my commute is a mere 4 miles a day but OUCH!!!

And no I can't bike; 200 lbs. of tools just won't walk there.

[Bozita]

31. Gas prices DOUBLE in Windsor, Ontario ... WTF?

Doesn't Canada still include Alberta?

[Renew Deal]

32. Yes, $2.79 at the cheap place on LI.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. $2.69 in Fort Worth and I had to fill up regardless;

my car was running on imaginary fumes

[cynatnite]

34. Filled up tonight at 2.50 p/gallon

I won't get anymore until I use half a tank. There are already a few places that have raised their prices to 2.64.

Hubby is headed to Roanoke and he's worried about finding gas rationing like there was after Katrina.

[political_invader]

35. Not only did I fill up both cars

I filled up all my gas cans $2.89 per gal
Im with ya at least $4.00 this time next week my guess

[dethl]

36. Filled up at $2.86 in Las Cruces, NM

[NaturalHigh]

37. I filled up yesterday at $2.31.

They changed it to $2.37 immediately after I filled up while I was inside paying. I think a couple of other people behind me managed to squeeze in at the lower price.

[TankLV]

38. Yep - but it'll last only a week.

Crap!

Have I told you all lately how much I hate bunkerboy and all repukes?!
