Here in Charlotte, NC, I filled up Tuesday morning at $2.47 a gallon. By lunch, it was at $2.59. Then by the evening, at the same station, it had risen to $2.79. This morning, it was at $2.99! Now, I hear that the pipeline that brings the gas into the Carolinas has been knocked out by the hurricane. I have already seen some gas stations running out of gas, with others closing at 7 PM. Long lines have begun to appear at some stations as well!
About the only good news is the pipeline is supposed to be running again by the weekend. :o
