  • Nobody knows what gas is worth

    Same street corner. Intersection of Northshore and Morrell. The free market is confused.

    • Weigel’s: $3.489
    • Texaco: $3.459
    • Pilot:$3.399

    I don’t know if it had anything to do with the price of gas or just being a Monday but Pilot’s parking lot was a clusterduck of activity and could barely fit any more vehicles. There was no order to it either. Looked like an intersection in Hanoi! The McDonald’s 18 wheeler was delivering supplies. The Waste Connections truck was picking up the dumpster. Landscapers were filling up their tanks. Between the huge trucks and trailers, cars were zigging and zagging and negotiating right of way by hand signals. And you know what! It worked. No accidents. No red light cameras. No traffic signals. Granted, it was just a parking lot.

  • Expect $6/gallon next week

    From Twitter:

    @knoxgirl75 my wife’s uncle, that delivers fuel in NC, said next week is a no go for fuel……some talk of $6 gas

    Update: Charlotte NC is seeing problems too.

    Update: Southern states warn gas stations against price gouging
