Has Gas Jumped Big Time In Your Area Or State?????
It jumped from this morning here in the Kansas City area 20 to 22 cents a gallon. Was wondering if it was happening everywhere or if they are just trying to make a profit from the ice storm here.

4. regular @$1.57 to $1.55 here in GA.

We have the nation's lowest gas tax. It pays only for roads and bridges and not any alternative or public transportation. Therefore, we have lots of multi-lane roads filled with huge gas-guzzling vehicles.

6. I was in KCMO 9-11-01
Visiting the parental units and I remember prices being pumped up then. Cars around the block, it was ridiculous. Probably just the ice storm.

12. Went up here also,you get ripped off by Quik Trip just like we do....
Went up last night about .10-11 cents. Off course like all good sheep the rest of the flock will raise prices to match QT and their 500-600 pumps here in Wichita.

Screw those bastards,I haven't bought gas from them in a year and a half. There are several other smaller retailers,I give them my business.

the stations here. Ripping off the public to take advantage of the storm. It was a 1.46 this morning going to work and this afternoon jumped to 1.76 and 1.77
