2. GasPricess.com reports 4.75 max price but I believe you!

3. The most I can find is $4.75/gal

by a unregistered visitor.

Take it with a grain of salt. Anyone near the BP next to Haynes Bridge in Alpharetta?

5. Yeah I heard that too. I went to get gas and had to wait half an hour

in line. Then I got to pay 16 cents more a gallon at $2.95 here in E TN.

6. THOSE GAS STATION OWNERS SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL

Right away, without a trial.

That is just blatant price gouging.*

*This post does not absolve the oil companies of blame, of course (have to get that statement out of the way, lest someone call me "soft" on the oil companies).

7. They can go to $10/gallon

[Cattledog]

12. Regular is all but sold out in Atlanta

Premium only. People in the suburbs are panicing! I bought Premium for $2.85 at 3:30p at a cheapo station on Lavista Rd.inside the Perimeter. Regular was all gone!

10. so much for patriotism...

f'ing sleazeballs

[AlCzervik]

14. part of it is price gouging but the other part is keeping people away

me thinks that station is running low on fuel.

[whistle]

8. So is this not considered price gouging....

...even when shrub makes the U.S. crude oil reserve available to refiners?

11. Around 5:30pm Eastern, CNN showed video of gas lines at least

half a mile long in Atlanta. Reporter said something like $3.50 downtown, but some places listing $4.99.
