Yeah so my dad just called, he works for the State of Tennessee, and he said that the gas prices in Atlanta were at $6.00 (as said on the news here). Thats crazy!!!! Looks like I'll be driving my red wagon for a while. This is really not looking good for the U.S's Economy.

I paid $3.09 today in Atlanta. My wife paid $2.59 this morning.

Turns out that many Atlanta gas station were charging over $4 and up to $6, but the Governor has stated that all will be prosecuted who "gouged" the prices.

Of course, everyone is freaked out that we will run out of gas in 7-10 days. However, if the two main gas lines aren't put back into service, we actually may run out of gas.

I spoke with my brother at 3am today and I asked and he paid $2.89 after midnight in Warner Robins. This does not help the panic when people make up prices and the media reports it.

I remember when prez Bush was selling us the Iraq war, he said that oil from that country would pay for the cost of the war, our great nation is on her knees for oil, we need to make E-85, and other alternative fuels more user friendly, and get our main pipelines the hell out of a region that seems to get hit by killer storms at least twice a year, I mean, we spend billions to fly spacecraft to explode on asteroids, for Christs sake, we should be investing that money to invent oil and gas alternatives, our countrys future is at stake, and its going to get worse untill we elect government officials who actually give a sh$t about the working man and women.

Bush also made the statements in his 1st term that he felt we absolutely MUST increase the number of our refineries, namely in the Cailfornia region, but it has been shot down again and again... now we're paying severly.

Tonight most of the gas stations in my area are running out of either regular or they are just selling premium.

So i filled up for 3.09 thinking well, if we're running out of gas, prices are going to shoot up. Especially over the holiday weekend.
