Traveled west to Graham and south the Madisonville this past weekend. Most gasoline was $2.49 per gallon with highs of $2.69 and lows of $2.29. Didn't see many lines once out of the DFW metro area. Did see a lot of tankers on the road delivering fuel. Love's tank trucks were out in force.

According to your state attorney general, you were price gouged and the business owner should go to jail. Maybe, didn't take note of the price until I was at the pump, I doubt it said $3.01 on the marquis. Anyhoo, I still have the 10 gallons in reserve at home which is a 300+ mile range in the little Toyota. Sounds like this whole deal is over with for now.

I don't pay attention to prices since I have to buy it anyway.

About 30% of the nation's refining is shut down. Just a wild guess, but I'd say this has something to do with it.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

They changed the name of the school??? When did that happen?
Dave
don't fret, it will have a new name soon to reflect the politics and politically correct passions of the times.. I am sure the list of potential name changes will be 1. Che Guevara High 2. Mao Tse Tung High 3. Rosey O'Donnell High 4. Madonna High or the most popular after the Che Guevara High, The Barrack Obama High School... Liberalism marches on...

Turns out the name change will cost more'n a million dollars by the time they change logos, uniforms, band outfits etc etc...... Unless they can find someone else with the last name "Lee".

I traveled from McAllen to Houston TWICE this weekend and had no problem getting gas or diesel at a normal price. Delivered water to Baytown this afternoon and got unleaded for $2.17/gal.

I'm in Ohio, and no where near the flooding, and I filled the company truck this morning for $2.66 per gal. , so I wouldn't call it gouging as much as supply and demand.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I'm talking when I was a kid... but lived in So Fla twice... and have lived thru Hurricanes back then... don't remember Fuel prices going up due to "supply and demand" during Hurricane times. Could be mistaken, or poor memory from so long ago... but I don't remember ANY fuel pricing ups and downs ( minus "gas wars" ) until the 1974 Oil Industry "Faked" Fuel Shortages.... where we were supposedly short fuel, while oil tankers sat at anchor off the East coast for 3 and 4 months, because they supposedly had nowhere to drop the fuel off, due to oil tanks on shore being full...
