I Serve Larry's Stick
I've seen it up at least a dollar a gallon here ($2.62) and have heard reports as high as $4.00 - $7.00 a gallon.

He said that if you need gas, buy it. If you don't, don't worry about trying to get some today.
Still, it is disheartening to see the gas station across from my house, first with a huge line of cars, then with a sign that they have no more fuel. I think I'll just be waiting it out.

Gas is still under $2 a gallon here. I'm stuck at work, but I just called my dad, and he said cars are linin' up like crazy. I really, REALLY need gas in my car too, or I don't know if I'll make it home.
Guess that's the least of worries though...

Well, I needed gas for going home this weekend, so I was forced to buy it. In Lansing, I bought gas for $1.89 a gallon for 87 octane fuel (Regular Unleaded). It was $1.70 a gallon only a couple days ago.
I'm sure it will be frighteningly high the next few weeks, only due to hysteria, and not supply.

But there were about 80 cars lined 10-15 deep at each pump...screw that. I'll try in the morning.
