Gas to go WAY UP tomorrow?

**CaptainCaveMan** · 09-11-2008, 06:22 PM

I'm getting calls from people saying gas is going through the roof in a couple hours, anyone else heard this?

**bmyers** · 09-11-2008, 06:25 PM

**Zboner** · 09-11-2008, 06:26 PM

Why would it go up substantially?

**CaptainCaveMan** · 09-11-2008, 06:28 PM

Normally i would right this off as paranoia, but i'm talked to several people that don't know each other and they all say a $1.25 jump is coming. Figured i would ask here since this is a car site.

The only thing i could think of is the Saudi/Opec thing that just happened.

No its true, over here right now its 3.59 but expected to be over 5 tomorrow

Due to hurricanes in the gulf, some of the oil places are closing making it hard to find.
They are also asking for pple not to take more then 10 gallans per purchase.
Also down here some gas stations only have premium left because it was packed like crazy.

leave some for me.

saudis left opec because they dont want to cap their oil production. so they will produce as much or more than what they were. Simple logic tells me that there will be more oil produced so prices should go down...

**AKIRA** · 09-11-2008, 07:09 PM

Ok my room mate just said the same thing. Then, not 15 min later, as I was on the phone with my girl in Miami, she got a txt saying the same shit.

2 people that know nothing of each other, from different parts of FL saying this shit? Thats the most powerful rumor ever. And Ive seen nothing on TV lately..

**ATCharming** · 09-11-2008, 07:09 PM

subscribing to both contradicting threads to see wtf is going on... lol

**Ghawk996** · 09-11-2008, 07:19 PM

Hey I went and filled the T/A a little while ago it was 3.52 a gallon here in Knoxville,Tn and they where selling plus for the same price as regular since they were already out. Then right after that he turned the light off to shut down since they were almost out of that. I have had one friend say it is going to be 4.50 and another said 5 by tommorrow.

A coworker just mentioned that to me tonight saying the gas station across the street was asking for people to only take 10 gallons.

**SeVeReDiStOrTiOn** · 09-11-2008, 07:24 PM

I just filled up a few minutes ago just in case...I was going to tomorrow anyway.

**Kennedy** · 09-11-2008, 07:25 PM

Oh Jesus H. Christ, don't everyone go all Mad Max now. It's a freaking rumor. Gas is not going up eleventy billion dollars a gallon tomorrow.
