was Re: [AT] Gasoline $

[Larry D. Goss]

I understand from a telephone conversation that occurred with a resident
of the Atlanta area that the gas stations there have been ordered to
stop selling because of the hoarding going on.  They're blaming the news
channels and TV stations for causing the big run on gas in that area.

Yesterday afternoon I watched all the Diamond Shamrock stations in
Temple go 
up to $2.699 from $2.499. The BP station the dealership uses stayed at
$2.419
until sometime last night (after 6:30 PM). It was up to $2.699 as well
this 
morning when I came to work. At least we're not up to $3 yet.......

When I went inside to pay, the cashier said the price was going up to
$2.899 at 8:00 PM and would be $2.999 by tomorrow morning.  They're
supposedly watching the price changes very closely with regard to
timing.  There was comment on the local news tonight that there is a
limit of a 30-cent increase in 24 hours.  Your guess is as good as mine
as to how the price increase timing is determined and I don't know
whether it is a state or a federal regulation that's being referred to.
For that matter, I don't know if there's any truth in the price change
limit.
