GAS PRICES $6.00/gallon AND UP
Guys, i just received a call from a close friend of mine who's uncle owns a gas station. He told me the gas price will go up to $6.00 a gallon starting on Sept. 24th in So. California. Since there's been hurricanes in TEXAS. I dont know how true this is, but i wont risk it. I'll be taking all my cars to fill up the tank tonight.

Topping off tonight may get you one tank full of gas at a lower price or it may prove how easily swayed you are. It may go up tomorrow but I think this is a crock and I sure am not heading out to try and create a panic. Like flipside said, chill.

I also heard the same thing about gas prices. Even here on the East coast in Delaware, we are expecting $5 a gallon, which is about $2 higher than what it is now. The only reason that this will happen is that if the 3 big oil tankers stationed down that way get some interation with the hurricane. Today i heard it dropped back down to a level 3, which is better than what it was at before. Maybe it will die down, and we won't have to experience these prices in gasoline. If so, i'll start to mod my Schwinn. lol

I agree with the basic supply and demand concept. I took freshman economics last year, and am taking part 2 this year. There is nothing else that will better explain this than people panicing and rushing to get gas, and then driving gas prices up that high. I do realize if some of the oil is restricted, then it will raise due to low quantity, but the US isn't going to run out of gas, and there's always public transportation. But if you own a car, most people don't want to go that route.

Guys let's just not lose sight of the fact that the comments voiced that started this thread were pretty much total BS. I filled up two days ago in NoCal at $3.05 for premium and drove by the station today and it had rocketed to ...... $3.05 a gallon. I don't know who made what comment to who or what motives there were behind it, but it was fearmongering crap at its worst. Sorry if the language offends but reality is tough enough without things like this going on.
