I've already heard rumors of gas shortages at several places. When I was coming home, there were gas lines every where! Can you believe it!

Gas lines of all things!

To me it seems like the gas shortages won't be because of the hurricane...it'll be because people are panicking to get as much gas as they can.

2. Better get a locking gas cap
I think there's going to be a rash of problems if things keep going the way they are (especially if areas run out of gas)

3. My mother told me to buy one
They got one already. Over last weekend 100 gallons of fuel was stolen out of hubby's semi.

Tomorrow when I'm out, I will get one.

5. Raising prices 'cause they know they can
I wonder about the truckers, though. A hundred gallon tank at $3 a gallon is getting outta sight. Something's gotta give.

6. Watch out for air fares, too.
EVERYTHING is probably going to shoot up now...except for wages, of course. :eyes:
