There is no gas in Atlanta - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**SouthernIrish** · 09-24-2008, 07:08 PM

So bizarre. In my suburb, NONE of the gas stations have gas. The numbers are all down, the pumps covered. Its been like this for a week, since the hurricane. If it doesn't get better in the next couple of days, they are going to close the schools.

How is it in other places?

Hmmm. Thats NUTS! Gas is abundant as usual here. Its just that we have to pay 4.09 for regular unleaded. Nothing like bending over and taking it in the ass without a kiss.

Would it really be OK if you got a kiss with that? I don't think so.

Back on topic....Arizona hasn't been affected so far. We're paying about 3.45 a gallon right now which is the cheapest it's been in a long while. I figure with oil going up over the last couple days it won't last much longer.

I thought I heard some news about some mechanical problems with some of the refineries out in the east. But, I don't know any details.

Dropped here to $3.76, no supply issues.

its starting to get very squirrelly here too. People are getting into fights in the long lines when they actually find gas, the stations that get gas are putting $10 limits on the pumps. The last gas I bought was Sunday and it was $4.79 for regular.

That's just insane. I know gas has been high, but somebody needs to step in and do something. When there is a natural disaster there are laws that are supposed to protect us from price gouging. For instance, the government monitors prices for things like plywood when a community is preparing for a hurricane. Business owners can go to jail for taking advantage of people who are in need like that.

part of the problem is that Atlanta has to use some cleaner form of gas so that we don't end up like Beijing. Which is fine as I like my lungs until a hurricane hits. They eased that restriction but they are saying that it won't help until Tuesday.

Schools were closed for two days because of gas shortages after Katrina.
