After Katrina, gas went up to nearly $3.50 per gallon here, it has slowly made its way back down to $2.49! But it'll nearly double next week, up to $5.00!

Oh great media hype... because everyone is told it's going to happen and it's hyped by the media it's going to happen because oil companies just can't hurt to go with the flow....

As Dan said, the media are just making this situation worse because it will then look okay if oil companies raise the price.

I've been here too long..... seeing gas in all capitals like that I took "GAS" to be the "Geek Article System" hack. :p

LOL...I did too Kevin!

x 2 !

me three!!!

I hope it doesn't coz that will make it approx $16.00 a gallon here!!!

I also thought you were talking about geek's article system :(..thats sad

haha, guess I wasnt the only one o.O :(

I also admit to thinking this was about the Geek Article System :p

As for actual gas prices, well... I guess the days when gas was less than $3 might be something we'd tell future generations...heh.

In Tennessee, we were told gas would hit $5.00-$6.00/Gallon last time the prices were to spike (a month ago now), they never rose above $4.00 (which is high, but there's a difference). To be honest, I don't think they would have went that high had the media not given the prices so much attention.

We've settled down quite a bit and the prices are now under $3.00 for regular -- I think it's around $2.79-$2.80. If they do choose to double it, I'll be hitting the bike :).

I read the thread title and was about to recommend cutting down on beans and gassy drinks...

lmao!! you and I have the same mindset Erwin :p

Has anyone actually thought of fuel when they saw the title?

lol...no...but my answer to the fuel thing....
