[Rainscents]

it is up $4.70 right now! This shit going to get ugly!!!:grr:

BTW; I just filled my tank before coming home!

[tech3149]

1. I filled up an hour ago

I wonder how long till the pump price goes up.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. I have it on and I want to

:puke:

Vultures!!!!!

[durablend]

3. Are we taking bets on tomorrow?

$75 for sure, well past $80 if there's even the hint of damage to anything. Gasoline tacks on another 50 cents, easily.

[Rainscents]

4. Yea, my bet is over $80.00 by tomorrow morning.

[Renew Deal]

24. Depends on how many oil rigs disappear.

Either way, it's going to be bad.

[Jawja]

5. I filled mine up.

eom

[CountAllVotes]

7. yeah me too

It holds 17 gallons. We'll see how long I can make it last. I have to drive into town two times next week unfortunately. :(

Nature: The ultimate force and teacher of all lessons.

6. I filled up this afternoon and called warning family and friends ...

... to do the same.

This is going to be bad ... even w/out major damage, things will be shut down for days (at best); the oil companies will get what they can with out any fear of governmental reprisal.

[SmokingJacket]

8. Rich people are getting richer!

And poor people are dying!

Doncha love it?!

:puke:

[ohio_liberal]

9. My son filled up both cars this morning

And I want to thank you DUers who warned us this morning about the price increases.

[Junkdrawer]

10. I posted this Saturday morning...

Is Katrina a “Perfect Storm” for Oil Futures? ($70 Oil????)

[SpiralHawk]

11. I filled up, too...

And clued my Mom in as well so she could get out to do it first thing in the morning. Here we go...

[Skip Intro]

12. The entire nation will be gouged. Or should I say, more gouged.

greed

[Rainscents]

14. Oh yea, this shit is going to get real ugly!!!

I hate these greed basters!!!

[Massacure]

13. I told you so.

[Rainscents]

15. Yes you and others told us all here in DU!!!

[MissB]

16. I filled up this afternoon and thought

"Well, that's the last time I see gas for $2.50 a gallon."

Sigh. It really pales in comparison to the horror that faces anyone in Katrina's path.

[RSchewe]

17. I hope oil prices go into orbit! $200 here we come woohoo!

Then maybe people will start caring. The prices are high because people still won't slow down consumption and don't mind paying those prices. It is funny how we are getting mugged by these prices and oil companies are making record profits.

Eventually it will reach a breaking point and not until then will anything be done about it. Let's just hope it doesn't lead Bush to take us into another war.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. Yeah that's helpful!

:eyes:

[Junkdrawer]

18. NYMEX ticker here...

19. About a week ago I read where someone predicted

the price of a gallon of gas would soon match the $5.15 per hour minimum wage - this was before Katrina!

:wow:

[durablend]

20. Gasoline futures up close to 20 cents already

EEK! :scared:

(I may go fill that gas can now and not wait until tomorrow morning) :scared:

[Rainscents]

21. I was also going to wait until tomorrow but, I changed my mind after

what I heard from MSNBC this morning.

[gulliver]

22. That's the real scoreboard, IMO. The price of gas in dollars ...

... says it all about Bush's Folly. He has given a lot of oil to conservative Islam.

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Now would be the time for the guy in South America to...

"Just Say NO" to Bushco. * Thanks Pat!

[Rainscents]

25. I think stock market is going get hit hard tomorrow, except OIL.

[Joanne98]

27. Bookmarked! Thanx.
