So much for "Don't buy gas on September 1st" day... (Yes, I got that in an email chain letter a few days ago.)
Yup, I just got back from the gas station. Waited until nightfall so my neighbors wouldn't see me stocking up on gas. 31.79 gallons of 87 @ 2.939 for $93.44

I got that E-mail as well. Those things about as dumb as the "send this to 10 friends or you'll get back luck" chain letters. I sense that as a prime buying opportunity. Unfortunately the the hurricane threw a wrench into things. I'm hedging my bet that there will be a fallout this Labor Day weekend on supply nationwide, even to the West Coast. If not and the prices go down $0.25 which is what I paid a month ago, big deal it's only $8. But if there's a shortage, it's a major situation.

Can you imagine how many thousands of gallons of jet fuel are consumed slowly circling New Orleans at 2,000 feet?
He saw New Orleans on his scheduled flight back to Washington D.C. from Crawford, Texas. He left two days earlier, though.
