Gas is $3.68 a gallon in my area at this moment. I stopped to fill up after work after my sister called to tell me that gas was rising over $5 a gallon by morning.
The lines are horrible. My son pumped regular gas, which is ten cents more a gallon than the plus, in the gas can for the lawn mower, then got the plus out for my van, which was almost half full already.
An alarm went off inside the store, and we were told that they were out of the plus gas. My son said it shut off on him, so I told him to continue filling with the regular. He put in just $3 more...LOL!
Anyway, I then left to get milk and the Kroger, which is a block away, had about 50 cars there. Most gas stations here are reporting they are out of gas.
I was supposed to leave for central Illinois tomorrow to pick up my new dog from a friend of mine. I will cancel if gas rises above $4 a gallon. I called to tell her this news and she's heard nothing of the gas problem. She'll keep me informed so I don't take an expensive trip.
Anyway, how are the rest of you, aside from those who are out of gas because of evacuations?
