Just got back home. Filled my van and Samantha's car. Cost me $80. Two of the four stations in town have already gone up to $3.79 since this morning. I couldn't believe that Exxon was one of the two that hadn't already raised the price.... since that Exxon station is usually the first to go up. The two stations that still had gas at $3.49 had lines from 4-8 cars deep... the diesel pump had the longer line because they only have one pump with diesel. I had to wait in line over 20 minutes to get to the pump. I can't even imagine what it's like since Dover has turned the employees loose. Hubby may have to wait an hour to fill up.
Where did you go Tina? Middleton or Walnut?

Middleton. I called Durham's station on 72 that's just a few miles from me, and they'd already gone up to $3.79 and expect another 50 cents at least by tomorrow.
We got home, and Samantha said she never wants to have to do that again. People over there were nuts!! I wouldn't be surprised at all if they have to start rationing it.

I don't know where Tabo heard this, but she said that some of the stations in Corinth are rationing to 10 gallons at a time. She's dating a guy from Corinth so he probably told her that. I remember a couple of years ago they did that down there.

It's crazy around Fort Smith. Gas was around $3.39 yesterday and I just paid $3.79. The guy at the gas station is saying it'll be approaching $5.00 by the end of the weekend. There are lines around gas stations and it's a little chaotic really. I didn't see this coming at all. Gasoline fell under a $100 a barrel today and yet prices are spiking? Something is not on the up and up.
Governor Beebe declared a state of emergency in Arkansas to help combat any price gouging that is going on.
The only thing I've seen that compares to this is the day of 9/11 when people circled gas stations and were in panic.

One of the girls in the next office heard on the radio that the governor of KY declared a state of emergency also.

Hubby heard that this afternoon at work too... I'll send you a text message and let you know later tonight if it's true. We're heading to Corinth in about an hour. Going out to eat at Ryan's for our anniversary. Can you believe I've put up with him for 20 years? (and vice versa)
I saw gas at 3.86.9 at a Murphy USA today...Whew. I drive around 90 to 100 miles per day to and from my office. I have an 8 cylinder but get around 24 to 25 miles per gallon at the most. (Usually between 23 to 24 miles).
I just waited 45 minutes to get gas at Kroger. I got it for $3,76 with my Kroger card. But the city officials have said that it will be over $5.00 by tomorrow. I called my son and told him to fill up TODAY! The line was insane!!!!!
Talk around here is that they are trying raise the price to $ 5.oo to match the prices in LA.
We have been paying about 3.68 for regular.
