Thumbs down F'ing-A gasoline is shooting up around here!!

Damn this hurricane season. Gas is shooting up here like crazy and is expectted to top near or over $5 by tomorrow here. This f'ing sucks! Expecially with the bike being down. If it stays up over this amount I told the wife I'm selling my Highlander SUV (which gets decent gas mileage for a SUV) and buying a second bike that gets excellent gas mileage. I will deal with the weather lol. Maybe a 400SM or something along those lines. I commute over 160 miles a day to work and back. Hopefuly it won;t last long and no oil rigs go missing like with Katrina. There are lines already at the pumps tonight and the stations are rationing gas.

As of last night gas was $3.58 here around my house. As of today it's $3.99-$4.29 on the rise and the gas stations look like parking lots. This is rediculous :/

State governor just declared a state of emergency. Gas stations have ran out of everythign but premium around here!!! Gas is now $4.79 due to premium. He says they are enforcing gas gouging laws as of now but I'll believe it when I see it. I rmemeber then president declaring the same thing and never once saw any gas station being held accountable. This is nuts here!

Good to know you can always count on fellow Americans to take care of one another during times of crisis.

Makes you almost consider living elsewhere in this world sometimes.

My wife drove by a Sheetz gas station today and they had their gas listed for $9.99 a gallon! I don't suppose they ran out of gas

They say all the oil rigs are under attack by Ike, good thing Alaska isn't getting hit. Wait a minute... Do we even drill there yet?

Thumper is an unknown quantity at this point
Here in Middle TN, most all of the stations are out or nearly out. If you can find gas itis right at $3.89.

The other stations are taking down their prices to indicate they are out of gas or putting a rediculas price like $6.00 to indicate they are out.

I guess the street bikes will be rolling next week after the storm rain passes
