1. The Gov also said a supply is coming! What's wrong with you people?
I moved here from the North East 18 years ago, and I'm still astnished at the panic of the people here! If the forcast says a slight chance of snow flurries, you raid the super markets of milk, bread and toilet paper. (Still haven't figured out the reason for the toiled paper!) Now, the Gov. says there's a 10 days supply of gas on hand BUT the supply is coming and from the port, not the pipe line so don't worry, but you're willing to spend $4.09/gal anyway????

I think there must be something in the wather in the south! I wouldn't know, I only drink beer!

3. Like I said, what's wrong with you people?
Go ahead and pay the gouged prices, and panic as usual! If you had a little patience, supply will get better in a day of two, and life will be back to what it was a few days ago. Still too high prices at the local pumps, but not insane like they are right now!

Unless you simply can't get to work tomorrow with what's in your tank right now, I think you're nuts for buying this crap right now!
