Official Hurricane Katrina Thread (all other threads will be merged to this one)

Where can I get more info. on this, CNN?

Just read up on it, and damn, this might be messy...

regular ranges from 2.36 to 2.70 right now depending on where you drive and/or live.

dude weather, cars and military (was one of my hobbies,hehe but now i'm actually in it) are my hobbies. for some reason i have always liked weather so its cool. hurricanes tornadoes are things i like. i don't like to be in them but i like they way they look in radar and stuff.Sorryfor going off topic but this storm and gas price always go the bad way in some areas and places where as others stay the same.

shit good thing I filled up FULL, changed my oil and added fuel injector cleaner so hopefully it'll make my gas last a bit more longer.

Gas was 2.65 when I filled up Sat. night. I haven't been out and about today though. Last I saw though the price of a barrel of gas had risen about $1.50 so price hikes will start coming. That raise was even before the damage reports about how many miles of oil line were damaged in the Gulf. We could be in for a hell of a few months w/ gas prices.

Thank God rolla's get crazy mpg.

put in 15 bucks yesterday, didnt even get half a tank

wtf is wrong with my car

I got a full tank for a little over 25. I wasn't completely empty though. Its probably about 30 for a complete tank on mine.

gas is about $2.50 here right now, im sure it will go up, we hit the record high i believe a couple weeks ago when it went up to $2.64 or somethign like that

I work 15 miles away from my apartment. Its almost not going to work for what I get paid....

...I don't get paid shitty either...its just that half of my checks are going to gas now that I'm not working a lot of hours.

Hypothetically...

I should just get a vespa.

...still would be faster than most focuses

for a few months hopefully though i am glad i will not have to worry about gas prices for a while until i get back in feb then i can take a closer look at what i would have to do to get better gas milage. we just put 40 bucks to fill up my dads gas tank to 3/4 full man was he pissed. it used to fill up with less but lately due to this its starting to take a toll down here on residents.

I hear gas prices are going to go up $0.15 in a couple of days. I hope the news report was wrong. Stupid bitch Katrina.

for everyone else, just replace the state with the state your in and you'll see how bad or good the gas prices are at this point. it even gives locations to avoid and/or go to.

its going to crumple the econmy

Economy

Do you think with this hurriacane that blasted the south it will effect the overall economy? I know gas will rise a bit just in time for the holiday weekend. Does this effect the way u live now?

besides gas prices goin up. no, not really.

We'll be fine. Saudi Arabia is being cooperative and letting us get more oil from them to help with what we lost during the storm. It shouldn't take all that long to get back to where we should. Few months tops.

Oh...I also heard today that people in Venezuala are paying only 12 cents for a gallon of gas. I guess thats what you get when you are an oil producing power house...luckies.

it will def effect the economy.....1/3 of the gas coming into the united states comes from the lousiana area. Plastics, styrofoam and any other oil based products will go up (many things are made from oil other than gasoline). Also transportation cost will go up which will effect anything that is tranported to a store which is EVERYTHING. When prices go up the economy slows down.

Also since there has been so much damage many insurance companies that can't pay all there clients will likey go belly up and definetely effect the economy.

There will be shortages across the nation in concrete wood and many other building materials because of this disaster which will tend to cause prices of these items to go up.

gas prices are the only thing bothering me but that is it for now. today we just got a 15 rise from 2.36 to 2.51 that is the lowest i have seen so far for regular. i am sure ot will effect the economy but in ways that some civilians don't really pay attention to. but for others it will make a big difference in thier funds.

Luckily we haven't pissed off everyone in the world yet. Saudi Arabia has said they are going to help w/ the oil crisis economists are saying will happen. Furthermore, I was reading some article today...I think on CNN.com...and experts were saying the hurricane is merely going to be a speed bump in the economy and not actually hurt it in the fashion the media has portrayed it too. Basically that the economy is on a slow but steady rise, and this will only distract it for a brief period of time. If you looked at the stocks yesterday all 3 main ones (DOW, NASDAQ, S&P 500) were all on the rise.

Shouldn't be as bad as we all think.

$3.17 for Premium gas over here.

well gas hasn't hit in hard in CO....yet but well hopefully my full tank will last a while

i heard from a manager at work, that a certain chain of gas stations, is gonna be closed for the next 3 days

im not sure which one or why, i just overheard it, anybody know anything about this

they prolly don't have the budget to back up a 50 cent raise in gas man that's insane

Gas prices just went up here to $1.29 CAD per Liter, it works out to $4.10 USD per Gallon!!!
