We just traveled to Kansas and back and paid mostly between $3.45 and $3.99 a gallon.  But, then there was this one town in Virginia, off I-81 where they wanted $4.99 a gallon.  Very bizarre - all the stations in the town were the same.

We are still having gas shortage issues in N.C. Hasn't returned to normal since Ike.  During Ike it went up to around $5.  It is now down to about $3.89.  We have many stations with no gas and even more with just regular gas.  All because of the pipeline that runs from Texas to the southeast.  Absolutely crazy.  My husband went to 6 stations on Wednesday before he found on with gas.  We are told it will be better within two weeks.  We are ready for a break!

Just to clarify, that's 45 cents per purchase, no matter how much gas you get.
Arco only accepts debit cards or cash - no credit allowed.

Pelagia, is seems to be a limited area.  The mountains have had an even bigger shortage.  They trucked gas in from other areas for them.  I was out today and passed three stations with regular gas only.  We get our gas from the holding tanks in Greensboro. They get it directly from a pipeline from Texas.  The same thing happened with Katrina.  South Carolina and Georgia had similar problems, but I think they are better now.  It is our turn!  We need to figure out a better solution since there seems to be a pattern with every major storm.    I did see one station down to $3.79 so maybe (I hope) we are headed in the right direction.

Beth and I feel in love with the Smart cars in Paris.  They are cute and supposedly, safe.   My son has a Toyota  Prias and he loves the gas mileage.  It is stange to be riding, come to a stop sign and not hear the engine running.  He gets around 45 around town.   I am just leaving town until prices come down--Vegas here I come!!

For one day one of our gas stations - a Delta Petroleum - had a special appreciation day where gas was at $3.99.  You should have seen lines that day.  Traffic was backed up like crazy.  i went there today and it was back to 4.69 which is still the lowest on the island!

While in Nebraska in Lincoln, it was 2.85 a gallon, come home and it's $3.41 a gallon >:( So E-85 gas is $2.91 a gallon. Can't wait for fuel tax rebate at the end of the year.. Here we can get a tax refund if you have either a Hybrid, Electric, E-85, or Clean Burning Diesel vehicle each year. Well untill a certain point when people buy more hybrid vehicles than normal ones.
