    Several gas stations here have already taken the impending disaster as an excuse to jack prices up... $2.91 for premium down the road.

    Yeah, I have a Costco card, only problem is that I am never around a Costco when I need to fill up. Looks like I might need to start going out of my way to fill up.

    lol yeh, costco. my bad. My mind is stuck on the cusco coilovers. :lol:

    I was in Atlanta today, regular was $2.599 and the premium was $2.999.

    that's a lot of money for a fill up.

    I can't imagine how those suv owners pay for gas. It's like going out for a dinner at a nice place and eating a $30 steak everytime you fill up.

    I filled up at Costco last night for $2.60. I think it was a good $.20 cheaper than the gas stations right down the road. Well worth the $30/yr membership cost. Plus the Mobil1 is a little cheaper there as well.

    Do they have any of those oil refineries in a box at CostCo. I figure I got enough land out back for a small 1 pump station. Good find on the gas. Anyone check this site ever:

    Just paid 2.89 for premium at Roswell/Northridge QT. I was at a 1/2 tank but I figured I better top off. Something tells me with this hurricane this is only the beginning....

    Im not in Atlanta anymore but I felt like sharing my experience over the past day with the gas stations.

    Yesterday:

    5:00 pm...I drive past the gas station and see that gas is 2.69 a gallon for 93 (its been a lot cheaper here in SC than GA)

    9:00 pm...I fill up b/c the fuel light turned on, I pay 2.89 a gallon at the same gas station that was 2.69 4 hours earlier.

    This morning I heard that gas prices are up to around 3.19 a gallon in SC!

    the damn prices rose .50 in like 12 hours...those damn oil companies!!!
