Western North Carolina.

Looks like people are making a run on gasoline for the weekend.

Noticed on my drive into work today the majority of gas stations had their pumps closed.

Drove past maybe 10 stations 2 had pumps not bagged.

Kind of normal here it hits the fan and people run out and fill up milk jugs if they got em or any other containers.

One of the stations here dropped theirs today from $3.19 to $3.05.  Maybe it's the start of a trend.

Wow, great prediction Jack!  Wish I had read it a few days ago.  But it seems you were right on the money with that one.

I'm not certain this would be a ploy to try to destroy the Chinese economy.  If it is, expect gas prices to eventually reach $5+ in the US to even $10+ in the US and have a ripple effect to the rest of the world effectively making their prices even higher (which for those in the British Isles would royally stink).

Well,

If you curious, up here in Ontario gas in southern portion is running approximately  $5.32/gallon, or a 1.32/liter  :'( . I don't know what the price is in northern Ontario, but usually it is higher. Anybody from Wawa or Kap on the board to give us an update?

Thanks for the compliment Dash, but it's not rocket science, as many investors know by the frenzied buying of oil futures and refinery stocks last week. Hurricane season is a boom for energy related and petroleum maritime stocks. I found that out last year when I watched Ivan churn through America's Gulf oil patch.
