5. Yeah I heard that too. I went to get gas and had to wait half an hour |
|
in line. Then I got to pay 16 cents more a gallon at $2.95 here in E TN.

6. THOSE GAS STATION OWNERS SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL |
|
Right away, without a trial.
That is just blatant price gouging.*

12. Regular is all but sold out in Atlanta |
|
Premium only. People in the suburbs are panicing! I bought Premium for $2.85 at 3:30p at a cheapo station on Lavista Rd.inside the Perimeter. Regular was all gone!
