Gas prices are about to hit over 5.00 a gallon here...

You guys have never heard me bitch, complain or bicker about anything...

But with the economy the way it is, along with gas prices one would figure entry fees would have been reduced a little bit.

I was planning on "retiring" next season from the sport, but the way it looks, it may have already happened [Frown]

The severe price hike is just the oil companies taking advantage of people freaking out over the hurricane.

According to gaspricewatch, stations around here are still in the $4.15-$4.20 range. Higher than a few days ago sure, but not $5 at least.

Its the idiots who frantically run out to the pumps that drive the price hike higher than it should be.... and the empty tanks at stations from the frantic consumers....

Its called supply and demand.

Gas is $4.27 here in Gainesville for cheap stuff.

I noticed this evening that the price gouging has gotten out of hand. $3.99 in some places and crude oil is $100.52 per barrel.

If the States KNEW about htis going to happen can we sue them and the gas staions because they are aware of a crime in progress?
