Iraq is not producing what they thought it would, but I still doubt there will be any rationing as of yet.

This rumor came through about 6 months ago also. and it was phoney then. I would think something with that much impact on the economy would be press/ media worthy and annouce immediately.

I heard that yesterday and asked the attendant at Sam's. They said there would be no rationing at the pumps but it could be rationed as far as how much gas Florida gets. When the station runs out then they have to wait until the next delivery. Don't know how true that is but it's what I heard.

Yes I do believe this is how it will be. So if the gas stations run out.....that's it! Untill the refineries are back up and running again, who knows how long that will be? TRX350_On_The_Rack ......It has nothing to do with Iraq. |

90% of the fuel that comes into Ft. Lauderdale comes from the gulf coast refineries... One of my major customers in west palm beach told me this afternoon, that he spent all morning negotiating to bring in diesel from the carolinas, because his normal supplier out of port everglades will be out by thursday, and doesn't know when he will get more. What do you think that will meen for normal gas stations? Better get it while you can folks...

Prices here in Orange City/Deland have only gone up about 10 cents so far. Needless to say, I have a feeling I will be filling my take tomorrow (for the first time in 2 years), just to beat the impact of the eminent price hike... and to think... I have a lot of driving around to do this weekend, lol.... AHHHHHH.... I HATE GASOLINE!!!!
We have a lot of smart people on this site.... how about we combine heads and come up with a truck that runs off oxygen, lol.

Our local station was $2.51 per gal this morning when my wife took my daughter to school and when I went to fill the RV after work it had gone up 13 cents. That's BS. The attendant said they did not get a delivery today so then why raise the price on gas they allready had in there tanks? Fill up now rumor has it regular will be close to $3.00 for the holiday weekend. Great for the economy isn't it? What a joke. Okay I feel better now.

Cut to the chase.
There is crude in barrels but the refineries have to catch up.
Tankers are out there but have to wait the storms out before they can dock.
Gulf drilling platforms have little affect on the actual US $$$.
Gas will go up about .35(broker price) because they can. It is all a prediction game.
Some station may run out off fuel for a day or two.
They (gas companies) will shaft us for every penny they can get.

Well I guess they are looking for the unemployment rate to go up drastically. If they attempt to ration gas they will cause ppl to not be able to drive to work. Thus further driving the economy down.
I don't see how they can ration gas. Busch would be politically assasinated for such an attempt. The effects of something like this would drastically change everyone's way of life. No job=no money=no way to pay mortgage or bills= homelessness nationwide. The economy would plumitt.
I don't believe it will ever happen. Only ppl that will be able to make it will be on quads or go peds or some other cheap means. Hell I'll park my truck and drive around town on my quad. It gets better mileage. What can they say? Absolutely nothing!

Well... ahead of the impending gas price hike, I decided to take the plunge and fill up my truck this morning for the first time in almost 2 years (usually I always just stop at $20).
At $1.59 a gallon.... it cost me almost $70  and condsidering I make $9 an hour... that works out to be almost an entire day of work!
Needless to say, I think I will be  away my sorrows this weekend, lol. Scooter be ready... cause man that hurt!

The immediate effect right now is that the Gulf Refineries are down and we are having to rely on Texas to supply "US" as in YOU & ME with gas. Oil has to be refined before it can be gas... But in "The Big Picture" before the storm... YES it goes back to the Middle East situation. We were already weak and now...... |

Sorry I came off as blaming Iraq only on my original reply to this thread. I meant to say much more, but was on my way out the door and just got done reading an article on Iraq's short comings. I should of just waited till I got the time to reply properly. |

This was on CNN and straight from our Governor's mouth. BSO (Broward Sheriffs Office) and other city's have already started shutting down there gas pumps that's used for there vehicles in order to save gas just in case there is a shortage. I would take this seriously and get as much gas as you can just in case.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Governor Jeb Bush is warning Florida could see shortages of gasoline in coming days as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
The hurricane roared through the nation's major gas refineries and shut down production of thousands of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
Bush says Florida has worked with the US Department of Energy and the Petroleum Industry to bring significant supplies of gasoline into the state's ports.
But David Mica of the Florida Petroleum Council says it will take time before oil rigs and refineries are operating again.
Bush blames oil companies for keeping lower inventories than they have in the past and that makes shortages more likely. But Mica says the oil industry has produced record amounts of petroleum each of the last three years and that global demand has also increased to record levels.

I just heard that as well... something like $4.50ish for gas..... but also a lot of the gas stations around the flooded/hurricane hit areas are over $5 a gallon for gas because they are running on generators and giving gas to the police/military/etc. SO there is no telling whats going on when it comes to gas, lol... I take it day by day.

I'm gonna try to hit Costco in the morning before work,,,,usually there is noone there at 6:30am, we shall see tomorrow.
I know there was a line about 20 cars long at a gas station about 1/2 mile from me today, and the station across the street had already been attacked by the mobs and their pumps were dry.

I topped off my tank in Orlando tonight (filled the quads too ) There was a line of 15 cars at the gas station. Regular was already gone. School busses in Orange county have cancelled field trips and sporting event transit. It is only going to get worse. I might have to bail on the ride this w/e so I can have gas to get to work  They are asying no gas coming to Orlando for 3 days. |
