Fill Up your tank - Lateral-g Forums

almcbri · #1 09-21-2005, 03:29 PM

Just a bit ago I got a call from an employee from a oil co. out of the houston area saying to fill up my cars. The hurricane could possibly do damages to oil refinerys on the gulf and prices could go up to $4-5 a gallon

not to mention shortages if the refinerys are messed up. It can take years to rebuild if they were messed up. Just thought I would let you guys know what I was told "just in case" to maybe go ahead and fill your cars up on your way home from work.

They say the same thing every time mother nature sneezes, I doubt this time will be any different. The "speculating" (panicing

) is what causes it to jump every time, not the effects from the storm.

I'm not worried

Right after Katrina, our gas prices spiked to $2.99, but it's slowly been coming back down to where it is now, $2.43, which was 89 octane.

And we're still at $3 (minimum) for 87 octane. It has not dropped .01 here.

I live in Harlingen Tx and the gas is 2.79 and I use super which is 2.99 a gallon. I am 28 yrs old and when I started driving 12yrs ago gas was .84, Now that was awesome.
