I was thinking that same **** Greggo. I topped off the tank yesterday, put 20 bucks in and got just over 6 gallons, talk about suck ***. That was at 2.85 for 93

HOLY **** MAN!!!

It cost me just over $60 every 3.5-4 days to gas the truck up. I just heard gas prices around here took a major jump today but, I won't need to go back to the pump until Friday probably so I won't have to cry until then.

Anybody got a key to those gas station gas tank covers?

Atlanta went nuts today.. our brilliant mayor came on the tv and said that gas prices will be increasing rapidly and probably be over $3 by the end of the day. He said the reason why is because many of the refineries on the gulf coast have shut down... he didnt specify if there was a gas shortage or what... but the whole city went CRAZY.

Gas went up once... from an avg of about 2.65/gal to about 2.89/gal for reg. and than just about an hour ago.. its jumped to over $3... 3.99 for reg in Stone Mtn, ga. The reason why the city went crazy was bc the mayor made it sound like we have a gas shortage... so all hell breaks loose and a little while ago, he comes back on tv and says, " There is no gas shortage, I was just stating that gas will increase bc of those refineries being shut down"...

now.. why in the hell would he come on tv to say that... logically, wouldnt you too began to think that we would be running out? What a dipshit... and than a reporter asked, isnt it illegal for gas stations to price guage to that extent (i.e. .40 cent increase in 2 hrs.)... he said, no, its free interprise... so whatever... its getting really out of hand i think.

I need a pay raise gosh damnit
