people post gas prices here on a regular prices...all throughout the country.
(BTW, prices in MD range from 3.90 as a high that I've seen to 2.90 range that I'vce seen personally)
Suggestion for your daughter:
- Have her fill up in New Jersey and not stop for gas till she gets to Fredericksburg VA or south. Around the Baltimore/DC area, the prices are HIGHLY inflated (particularly in Alexandria, Arlington County, and Prince William County -- I actually saw $3.00 gas in Alexandria before this latest disaster)
Im arriving Weds afternoon sometime(the 8th) --checking out the job for a bit, then working Thurs and maybe Friday in the Foggy Bottom(?)Area, then unfortunately I have to be off---
Any of that work?
This would be good--maybe we should keep the politics a little light though ;)--> or maybe not...
Wednesday nights best although I am not a late night owl anymore, or whatever we can figure out..
The highest they have paid is 3.20. they are here in PW county with me, just got inn from NH. We are leaving for VA beach at noon. Im not filling up here, I will wait till I get closer to Richmond. I heard NC was closing pumps..any other shortages?
The prices start to seriously drop at Fredericksburg. Get gas before you get to the Richmond metro (before King's Dominion). They start to rise there again. Last time I was in Hampton Roads area, it wasn't that bad, just as long as you get away from the tourist areas (like Va. Beach -- near the beach, especially).
Gas prices here in Cleveland jumped from $2.09 or $2.19 to $2.69 a gallon a couple weeks ago. After Katrina they zoomed up to $3.09 and by the end of the week they went up again to $3.19 and $3.29 at some stations.
We have a chain of supermarkets that has tied a brilliant marketing campaign to high gas prices. When you buy groceries, you get a discount of ten cents per gallon for every $10 you spend once you hit $50. My cupboards were bare, so I spent $80 for groceries yesterday and will get an 80-cent discount at the pumps. The grocery store only has a few gas stations around the city, but fortunately one isn't far from me.
Is that genius, or what? We have basically two large grocery store chains in Cleveland. Both offer comparable goods and prices. So which one do you think I shop at?
No gas shortage here yet in Indiana, though they have warned it could happen shortly. Our gas jumped from about $2.60 to $3.29 overnight last week and when the attorney general got bombarded with calls and emails, he threatened stations about "gouging". Last night they dropped back down to $2.89. :)-->
Kroger grocery chain here in Indy does that type of gas promotion here as normal business. I'm always buying gas much cheaper there than at the other stations.
Sam's Club gives better discounts to members - - it's about $.10 per gallon, I think.
PW county Virgina has had stations run out for a day or two, but in general all the Sheetz have gas. The tradional cheap stations like Crown seem to be the highest and Exxon has been the lowest.
we are in Va Beach. Mark, gas was about 3.15 in Fredericksburg. She is going to gas up at Sam's Club here for the best price. I have seen 3.30 in town and 4.00 by the beach.

I heard there were shortages in SC also.

Have fun!

Smart move by that store-could be worth moving to cleveland soon.....
The local paper had an editorial cartoon yesterday ( I can't find it online)
that had a cartoon of a gas station offering
a Free SUV with a fillup, after spending $80.00 to fill the other day it doesn't seem all that far away

I'd suggest you fill up before you get North Carolina, if you can. A lot of stations are out of gas and those that have it are charging $3.49 and up.
The I-95 corridor has always had higher gas prices than anywhere else in the state.

Are the gas shortages confined to the Southeast so far, or are they occurring across the country? Anyone know?
My son's driving to Chicago and back this weekend, and I'd hate like heck for him to be stuck somewhere with no way to get gas!

Northern Michigan gas today is at 2.89
We were at 3.64 and a few even at 3.78 last week, but people refused to buy for two days and our governor hollared. It went below 3.00 then.
It's day by day here.

It's day by day here too, in Minnesota.
We were at 2.69 per gallon, and after Katrina hit, it shot up to 3.49. It is now at 3.09, and (as yet) we have not been warned of shortages.
It's my guess that the midwest (Chicago) will not be impacted by shortages, but then again -- who knows for sure?
