Atlanta BP gas at $5.87!!!
My 10 y.o. just came in with the "bad news", as he called it. I asked Hubby, didn't DUH-bya release the reserves.

He said, "Yes, but he wants top dollar for it." My Repub honey's coming around. :loveya:

16. I took that pic from a Yahoo link.
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 10:01 PM by Roland99
It was linked on Drudge, too, and is still there. Freepers love Drudge.

Here's the Yahoo link:

11. My family is in that area..
tonight they said the lines were so long and sister was running so low on gas, she would've run out if she waited on the lines. Went home and will have to take Moms car to fill up gas can to get her car there tomorrow and wait on lines. Incredible.

14. Which BP?
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 09:55 PM by UDenver20
I live in ATL and the most I saw was 3.29 (Cheshire and Lindbergh).

I wouldn't be surprised if the Piedmont/Monroe stations (often the most usurious us in ATL) were as high, however I don't think there's a BP near there...
