i hear that Wyoming has been lower than us for sometime now.

All the gloom and doom about gas shortages arent helping things. We have plenty of gas, all we have to do is tap into congress.

tapping in to congress would only get us hot air.

ok so if we have plenty of gas then what is going on in GA and in Alanta? People are crazy

Gas getting even costlier; lines reported
Governor enacts anti-gouging law

Lines at Atlanta area gas pumps grew along with prices this afternoon as word spread of possible fuel shortages.

By noon today, several metro Atlanta gas stations had posted prices above $3.15 per gallon. Some metro area stations were charging as much as $4.75 a gallon, according to a Web site that keeps track of such things, www.atlantagasprices.com.

Prices were rising so fast in some areas that signs at gas stations no longer matched what was being charged at the pumps.

Declaring that there's "credible evidence" of price-gouging at the gas pumps, Gov. Sonny Perdue late Wednesday signed an executive order threatening to impose heavy fines on gasoline retailers who overcharge Georgia drivers.

"When you prey upon the fears and the paranoia, it is akin to looting, and it is abominable," Perdue said at a hastily called, 6 p.m. press conference.

The anti-gouging law does not prevent retailers from selling gas at higher rates but bars them from charging what the governor called "unreasonable or egregious" prices. It was last used after Hurricane Ivan hit Georgia.

Perdue also urged motorists to limit Labor Day vacation travel if possible. "There is no reason to panic. There is plenty of gas on the way. The only way we would have problems is if people rush out and try to horde and try to accumulate gasoline they won't need for a while," the governor said today.

Jim Tudor, president of the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores, said panicky drivers are the problem now.

"Atlanta's not out of gas," Tudor said. He said there may be outages at some gas stations, "but it wasn't because there wasn't gas available. It was because there was a run on these stores."

Spot shortages and news snippets ignited rumors that shot through e-mails, text messages, and telephone calls Wednesday. A popular one said state troopers were closing all gas stations at 4 p.m.; they didn't.

Some good news also trickled in. At 4 p.m., the Colonial Pipeline Company which owns one of the two downed gas pipelines serving metro Atlanta, sent out a news release saying some service will be restored tonight. Between 25 to 35 percent of the pipeline's capacity could be operational in hours. The company is using generators to re-energize the line.

According to Tudor, it generally takes about two days for gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products in the pipeline to reach Atlanta.

A manager at Costco in Morrow said at noon that prices at her store had not risen yet, but lines are long at the pumps. She would not give her name, but said she does expect lower supplies â€â€

oh the Prices here in Cincy, are 3.19 for regular.

I did hear in Atlanta some are charging, 4.99 a gallon.

I bet when the next quater profits come out for big oil companies. It will be a billions more then they made this last quarter.
