OT-- Gasoline shortages coming to SC and NC
- Thread starter NCGamcockFan2167
- Start date
$1.779/gal. - Garden City, SC
6:41 AM 9/16/16
Murphy's - Hwy 17 Business & Garden City Connector
$37.56 - 21.115 gal.
Petrol 'usually' spikes up on Thursday's anticipating the weekend influx - not so yesterday. Was out 'early' today to try-out the new 'Flapjacks' - very nice place, good food; but had to WAIT until 7 AM for them to open!
I think they'll 'change' that 'starting time' after a while to 6-6:30 when they realize how early the beach gets going.

Don't forget canned food, bottled water, shotguns and ammo.
Price has already gone up from $1.85 to $2.09 in Gaffney, SC.
Good. I don't want to put any ole cheAp gas in my truck!
Well it's not ideal but certainly not that big of an issue. Hopefully it returns to where it's been soon.
Everyone filling up at the same time will only push prices even higher.
Yep, noticed a couple stations on my morning commute jumped $.10 overnight. (Bear in mind, that has in the inground tanks didn't cost them any more......)Price has already gone up from $1.85 to $2.09 in Gaffney, SC.
There is always a increasethis time of year (as well as shortages) as refineries switch from summer to winter blends.
They'll find any reason to jack up the gas prices. The excuse used to always be fighting in the middle east or threat of a hurricane. Now it's a pipeline "leak". How convenient. I guess the price of a barrel has been so low they needed a little boost.
2005 Katrina was a nightmare. Panic in the streets. People lining up at every gas station to fill up.
Everything in grocery stores shot up when gas prices rose. Why didnt we see the decrease when the prices fell????
They say fruit prices will be high either because of frost, too much rain, not enough rain. lol they got it covered
They're charging the replacement costs to refill the tanks...not saying it's right but it's common practice.
many stations charge by the opening or closing cost on the day, others charge by what they pay for the gas. It's up to the station I think, which is why sometimes you see many changes at one station and steady prices at others. right now, sprint in Clearwater SC has increased over the past week to 1.99 while Sams in Aiken has stayed a steady 1.77...as of yesterday.

and yet people still get conned....if gas were 10 dollars a gallon, alot of people would pay it....id buy a horse and buggy, if it came to that
And replacement cost when it comes down too. All commodities work that way. You sell off average costs and you'll go broke. Too bad folks don't understand that.
