$3.55/gallon in Atlanta, lines are insane. Kwik Trip stations limiting people to $10 at a time.

some places selling only 10 gallons at a time. Gas over 3.50 a gallon. Some places listed at 4.99 a gallon.

it's a product of gas panic I think. People are getting out of work and decided to "be safe" and fill up now.

5. Bush needs to order a cap on the price of all gas products |
|
This is gouging and it's illegal.
However, rationing right now is a good idea. Time to conserve as much as we can. It's not that hard. We can get through this.

7. He won't do that. It makes too much sense. |

It helps the "common man" and not his rich cronies. Nope, he'll say you should pray and help your neighbor. Oh ghod, here he comes.

8. Link to TV or Radio or online please. This has only been a rumor. |
|
We know that they will have wholesale rationing (as per Bloomberg). Please let us know did you hear or see this on radio or tv?

11. I caught the tail end. |
|
I'm looking around for an article online about it right now. My bet would be retail rationing but don't hold me to that.
