What the hell is wrong with everyone?

[animemojo]

Almost every gas station in town is out of gas and the handful with it have lines around the corner! Why is everyone hoarding gas? It's a hurricane that is 4 states away! All these idiots are causing an artificial shortage by acting this way! At least we have two full tanks of gas because it was our normal fill up time. Sigh!

Well, we're on the OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY from the flippin' hurricane and I went to fill up this morning (my regular time) only to find that prices went up 20 CENTS PER GALLON OVERNIGHT!! What the FLIPPIN ELL??

I am glad we have price gouging laws here, but no telling if the gas companies will say "well, we raised them everwhere!".

You have gas, can you post me some? :)

Days like this I am glad my miata gets 32 miles to the gallon in the city.

The station at Wal-Mart went up 24 cents in 4 days. I assume either on some notion that prices would have risen anyway and people are trying to get it at the best price possible late this past work week, or because people are sucking it up like Kool-Aid on a sweltering day the demand boomed while the supply remained the same.
