Anyone having their gas prices jump? Here in PA. I went to get gas this morning and it jumped twenty six cents since yesterday.

Yes, here in Alabama it's up around 50 cents. I'm just happy to have gas. I've not seen any stations out of gas yet.

I don't pay much attention to the prices because I have an Acura and have to put the most expensive anyway.

However, with the shortage in mind (and because I was almost out) I filled up my tank a few days ago (I think getting ahead of the price hike). However, we all use gas so in one way or another, we'll all be paying for it...after all a tank of gas only goes so far.

I remember back years ago when I worked (over 44 years ago), I drove all of the way back to where I was living (maybe 30 miles) to get gas because we were on the odd even days thing. Back then I could do that on my lunch hour. Now traffic is so bad it would be totally impossible.

It was said on. Our news in Calif. That we have separate refinery and gas prices should not increase, but there are always those that take advantage.

@thyme Patty Same here. Price is the least of the problem for some people. There was no need for our city to run out of gas yesterday. Panic and ignorance is hurting a lot of people-people who need transportation, people who have delivery jobs, people who are outside of public transportation range-the list goes on.

Yes, ours has been rising. Doesn't PA have an incredibly high state gas tax as is? I don't know if $3 a gallon is predicted, but it would not surprise me. Well, we are called United States so when one big state like TX suffers, the repercussions are widespread.

As expected, yes. When the dust settles, as it were, they will go back down. DH filled our gas tank just in case.

I have no idea if our gas has gone up in the Seattle area. I fill my tank about once a month. I can't even tell you at what price gas was last time I filled it.

Yes, that's probably true throughout the country. And we haven't seen the highest prices yet. It is what it is. Gas prices won't go down until the refinaries and roads are back to normal or close to it and that will not be for a while.

Thanks to the suggestion from someone here, I filled up everything before land fall.

Now watching what is sitting off the coast.

I filled my tank on Aug 31. I got $ .90 off of a gallon with my bonus points earned at Giant Grocery store. My points were going to expire at the end of Aug, so i was forced to use them or lose them.

Yes, our gas has gone up even our Gov't has allowed the gas reserves to be used in this emergency. Someone will get rich.

I have $4.10 in gas points at Giant/Shell. So $1.50 off the next two fillups and $1.10 off the third.

With the Mastercard gift card deal this week, I'll probably get much more off. Love those deals.

I believe that 15 refineries are off line now in the gulf because of the storm.

That coupled with everyone from here to the Bering Straits filling up because of the hurricane is also pushing the price up.

The only good news is, the price will go back down.

I think you are right Auntg, I am pretty sure PA has the highest gas tax.

We are at $2.70 a gallon here in Delaware (this is just my area only ) don't know if it is cheaper above the canal or not.

I could care less what gas goes up to. That's why I purchase hybrid camrys all the time and this new hybrid camry I just recently purchased is getting almost 50 miles to the gallon. I can't see ever buying a full gas powered vehicle ever again.
