Yes, gas prices are already on the rise here in SC at staggering leaps and bounds. Everybody is rushing to the gas stations trying to fill up before the increases and after the increases which is draining the supply those particular gas stations have on hand. That does not mean that there is not going to be anymore gas arriving, I repeat THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANYMORE GAS ARRIVING. For the love of god, get a grip people!! I’m hearing that someone started some rumor that all the gas stations are going to be shut down today at 12:00 here. Who the hell would believe that? Morons. And where are these morons? At the gas stations draining the supply even more which will make the price go up more because of the increased demand.
Now that I think about it, let them shut the pumps down at 12:00. Some of these people might actually sit back and listen/comprehend what’s going on instead of jumping to their own conclusions and listening to ignorant people about what’s really happening.
Heard this from the local Go-Mart station:
What gas is coming in will be delivered to the major companies like Texaco, BP, Exxon, and when what is in his tanks is gone he don’t know when he’ll get another shipment in…
And oil companies rake in the profits…
It’s up to $3.26 here (at the CHEAP station). The gas prices are changing while people are filling up and then they are getting charged the higher prices.
I posted about this same thing when it happened in Georgia. Sounds exactly the same as what was said here. I agree, some people just don’t have any sense.
