We are running out of gas in South FL....
On my way home from work 3 of the 4 gas stations were closed, lines are blocks long.

I think the oil co's are playing games and using the storm as an excuse to rob us blind.

1. In addition, we all filled up before Katrina came here
And we never got another shipment of gas. It may be tight for a while. I'm already looking at alternatives (Tri-Rail, etc).

5. No, perhaps you need to stop putting down legit concerns.
It is a pattern going on at every forum now.

7. obviously it is gauging....

10. If we have another hurricane people won't be able to evacuate.
Pensacola ran dry before Dennis and Katrina - within hours.

And JEB was here today saying there will be shortages for the foreseeable future...
