Atlanta Gas

[BSkin]

newnan ga. $3.49/gallon....

What time of day was that? I drove around at 8:30 - 9:00 pm (in Newnan) and highest I saw was $3.09 - lowest $2.89. Granted, long lines and half of the stations are closed.

Remember the joke about mopeds and fat chicks? Well, the fat chick part is still true.

5 and 6 bucks a gallon eh? Buy a 1 gallon container-fill it half way (oh,say3bucks worth) stick a rag in the top, walk back in- Oh wait- you can't say s@#t like that any more... disregard all of the above.

Eat the rich...

Had this ugly thought of me at GITMO-and not in Marine fatigues..

This BS makes me want to buy a horse.

 

[Exskydiverdrivr]

Yeah - just got a tune up on both my bikes. Plan to do alot more peddaling than I have been.

One news station reported that the pipeline that supplies ATL was damaged and jetfuel is in short supply? Anyone able to back this up?

Yeah, the Colonial Pipeline, which runs from IAH to EWR is shut down. It serves airports like ATL, GSP, CLT, GSO, IAD, and the NYC area airports.

"Gas-Outs" yeah they don't work, those stupid emails FWDs

So what happens, you dont buy gas tomorrow, yet you still drive the same amount, RIGHT?

So the next day or the day after, you STILL have to pay to fill up, for the same, if not a higher price. Supply and Demand does not work on a 1 day "gas out" basis.

Yeah I cant believe how some people think that if we not buy gasoline on a certain day, that it will affect the worldwide prices of oil and wholesale gasoline.

If someone wants to have an effect, then conserve gasoline or use as little as possible.

I can't believe that you think that a day when no one buys gas in the US (autos & trucks), wouldn't have a major effect. Won't happen so we'll never know.

Good point on starting to conserve!

Just don't buy from Exxon. Get it from BP or someone like that. They get thier oil from the north Atlantic. Not many hurricanes up there.

Of course, there are the iceburgs and $hit....

Go to http://www.gasbuddy.com to find the best (and worst) prices in your respective areas. I just got back home to MCO tonight and heard about the gas lines/shortages on local radio and was fortunate enough to hit a station with almost no waiting to tank up the Jetta TDI diesel. I'll be able to drive another couple months on that tank until things hopefully settle down.

Drove by several stations that were out of gas, and a lot with long lines. It's like I'm preparing for hurricane Charley/Jeane/Frances again!

I really feel sorry for everyone who's in flight training right now; boy are they about to take it in the shorts! Next thing you know, the company will try to get us certified for single-engine flight!!

Because it is completely something to make the person "feel good", while not actually doing anything real.

Is the amount of fuel being burned changing? No
Is demand being lowered. No.
Does it have any effect whatsoever on the prices of oil or wholesale gas? No.
Does it affect futures contracts on oil/gas? No.
Does it encourage conservation? No

Its a unfortunately part of internet life, where people today think they can change the world by sending chain letters and other stupid things, that actually have no real effect, require no substantial effort, and no sacrifice, but do serve to make the person feel better emotionally.

You are welcome to tell us though how you think changing the day we buy gas in the US , will have a worldwide effect on the price of oil/gas and the supply of it.

If you want to do something beneficial, forget this stupid gas out crap.

Tell people to car pool, ride bikes, walk, etc. It was looked upon as unpatriotic during WW2 to drive a car alone "When you drive alone, Hitler is riding with you".

 

[dash8driver]

if the gas companies survived on a day to day basis a gas out would be conceivable. unfortunately thats just not how gas companies run their finances.

would you go bankrupt if your employer held your check back for one day? (do not answer this if you work for a regional )

Where in my post you saw that I'm up for a "gas out" please let me know. I'm just saying, after a previous poster, that it would have an effect. If you think that hundreds of thousands of gas stations, getting no business (fuel) for a day wouldn't have a serious impact, you better check supply and demand in ECO101, but, I almost didn't pass!

of it.

Thats the difference, between that generation and ours, now its all about me, I gotta fill up my Navigator, F150, Expedition, FULL, before gas goes any higher...

Demand=same
Supply=low and even lower now.
Price= well yeah, you guessed it dont act surprised. and call it BS. Economics.

Hence "gas-out" days dont work.

There is no gas to be found here in south AL. Every once in a while a gas station will get power back and have gas, but it never lasts more than a few hours.

 

[FN FAL]

Ok I'm trapped at home. Where can I find gas in Atlanta under $5.00 a gallon. This is getting out of hand.

MKE is reporting gas station closings because they have no gas to sell and that some gas stations have reported that their tanker trucks have been turned away from fuel depots empty.

 

[Major Metalhead]

Organized crime is all it is. This crap is the biggest joke. We as comsumers can blame ourselves for this problem. Why the hell would the fat pocketed people at the oil companies want to have prices lowered, when we are willing to pay this kind of price for fuel.

We are a captive audience, and we have to watch this gawd awful show over and over again with no choice. Enjoy the raping, its gonna happen for a long time. And oh yea, no kisses or snuggling after its all said and done.

"When you drive alone, Hitler is riding with you".

"In your SUV that supports terrorism."

Yeah, someone musta been confusing things with the AIRLINE companies!

Buy one of those liberal electric cars.

I WISH.

Expensive, and impractical (especially in hot, hot PHX sun). And heck, a sizeable portion of electricitiy is produced by oil (duh) or coal (dirty) anyway, so you're just paying more for an inferior product.

Hydrogen? In addition to being unavailable (USA), same problems. Oil/coal to make the energy to separate hydrogen from water - - so it's not really any cleaner. This won't be practical until we start building nuclear reactors like crazy (aka FRANCE - ick) for power to produce hydrogen. That ain't gonna happen til gas is 10 bucks a barrel. - - or better yet, depleted.

What was this thread about again?
