3. The most I can find is $4.75/gal
by a unregistered visitor.

Take it with a grain of salt. Anyone near the BP next to Haynes Bridge in Alpharetta?

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.*

*This post does not absolve the oil companies of blame, of course (have to get that statement out of the way, lest someone call me "soft" on the oil companies).

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!

8. So is this not considered price gouging....

half a mile long in Atlanta. Reporter said something like $3.50 downtown, but some places listing $4.99.
