Funny I did not fill up.. and I wont till I run out..
Work is close enough that I guess I can bike if there is a real lack of gas, I just dont want to contribute to the mass histeria and be part of the problem.

Some stations out of gas; others charge $6 a gallon
By James R. Healey, USA TODAY
Gas stations ran dry in pockets across the East, Southeast and Midwest on Thursday, and prices rocketed above $6 a gallon in isolated areas, as damage from Hurricane Katrina delayed shipments hundreds of miles from where it hit.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue declared a state of emergency to activate the state's price-gouging law after reports of gas priced up to $6.19 a gallon in the Atlanta area. "There's been a good bit of price rollback" since the declaration, state consumer affairs spokesman Bill Cloud says. "But we're still getting reports of people raising prices" by $2 or $3 a gallon. "People just decided to make a quick buck."
Gougers can be penalized up to $5,000 for each violation. "I'm going to ask the lawyers if we can call each gallon a violation," Cloud says. "Hey, when you price by the gallon ..."
The federal government is also taking complaints about gouging at gaswatch.energy.gov.
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Thursday that he might ration fuel and suspend state gas taxes. That's the first threat of official rationing since Katrina shut down nearly all operations in the energy-rich Gulf of Mexico. Pipelines from the gulf carry fuel thousands of miles to the East and Midwest. Those pipelines are closed or pumping slowly.
Officials say fears of shortages have led to panic buying. That, in turn, has created the shortages. "There's plenty of gas, but everybody and his brother went and filled up everything from SUVs to go-karts," Georgia's Cloud says.
Bob Sloan kept the price at $2.86 at his Oak Park, Ill., station and had so much business Thursday he had to assign an attendant to direct traffic. Most weren't his regulars, he says. "Maybe they'll come back."

At most civilian stations here in Northern VA-DC area it jumped ANOTHER 20 cents or so just yesterday alone. That's about 50 or 60 cents just since Tuesday.
87 octane is roughly $3.20 now and 93 octane $3.40. The military gas station at Ft. Myer this morning ( I can't buy it because I am not active-duty or retired military) was $2.70 for 87 octane....the place was just unbelievable............pure pandemonium.
