I filled up at Sam's Club at mid-afternoon Thursday and there was a gas tanker making a delivery there at the time. The price was $3.769 for premium, which would make regular $3.569 (with Sam's membership). For what it's worth.

Filled up at a local Texaco in Alcoa and a gas tanker was there making a delivery.

Filled up at Weigel's on Cherry at I-40 this morning, premium was $3.77/gal. No bags.

Hallerin Haslam Hill certainly didn't help things this morning with his broadcast and talking of a gas shortage.

I followed the gas panic in Chattanooga last night via Twitter, and it seems to be mostly hype. A few gas stations were asking for voluntary rationing and there were long lines, but this morning we're only hearing isolated reports of higher prices. We posted a story about the Chattanooga gas panic on Chattarati at (link...)

In Florida, a chain is asking their customers to limit purchases to 10 gallons.

I'm running out right now to fill up our other car. Then, I'm calling my Mom to fill up hers. Aaaahhhh!

Price now reported @ $3.99/gallon at a number of stations.

I'd rather be cycling.

Here in Texas, gas prices have spiked, less as you move north inland. Houston is reporting $1 spikes in prices, but then Houston traffic is being routed northward and major highways are being closed coming inward, so the limitation in the supply chain is bound to increase the cost. Prices went up nominally in my area of Texas ($3.59 from $3.49 this morning, on average). But NYMEX shows gasoline at $2.78 as of 8:30 this morning. I haven't seen what commodity prices are doing in the markets today, but almost certainly, prices will fall once Ike finally dissipates.

There seems to be a lot of panic buying here in Oak Ridge/Oliver Springs

The Racetrak on Pellisippi had no gas at 9:45 today.

The Gas station right by my house has sold out. The station just a few hundred yards down seems to be ok. Prices have spiked to 3.99to 4.19 a gallon.

I told my daughter at MTSU to stay on campus this weekend. I just didnt want her out on the interstate this weekend. No Matter Where you go, There you Are!!!!

I bought gas at the Shell station on Whittle Springs at Edgewood for $3.69. I remarked abut the increaee and the cashier told me she expected gas to climb to $5.00 a galloon soon. By the time I drove out to Magnolia, did a little shopping, and returned. The Weigel on Cherry St was up to $3.99.

I filled up at Food City this morning and the East Town Food City did not have regular or mid-grade available for sale.

Its around $4.50+ (premium) at the stations on Lovell Road. To many sheeple running to the pumps. Regular was sold out at one of the stations I drove by.

I'm low on lawn mower gas and I was kinda lookin' for an excuse to put off mowing.

$4.39 unleaded regular at a Shell on Rutledge Pike ~1:15.

Well the fuel depot in my 'hood was still selling at 3.59 when I filled up this a.m.. They are always behind the times, which is good until they run out. Wish they would restrict sales to homies as a gesture of solidarity. 2 Blocks away on the highway I saw gas at 3.89, up on the hill 3.99, back down at shell the sign said 3.49. But was any available?

A number of wholesales were found guilty of price fixing in Upper East Tennessee in the late 80s and early 90s.

In my opinion, the US Attorney in Washington needs to investigate the Pilot/Weigels pricing practices and see why their pricing seems to mirror each other's stores and prices increase a dollar a gallon overnight and the prices change during the day from time to time.

We are a small town, with very little competition when it comes to our fuel sources and our local investigators can't put a local political crook in a bag, can you imagine what a big corporation can get away with in this town?

Isn't the purpose of the oil reserves to keep the supply of fuel flowing during times of shortages and emergencies? I think it is time to tap them.

Hey, I hear the headline tomorrow is going to be:

"Daily newspaper shortage ahead!"

Sure enough, on Monday the KNS will cost 75 cents. -- s.

At 7 p.m. the Kroger on Northshore at Pellissippi had regular for $4.59.

Well I went up to the highway to buy a locking gas cap and saw the prices are up to $4.49. Should I be glad S knox has caught up with the rest of the town???

The sales clerk told me he heard prices in Gatlinburg were $7.

Wanna bet tomorrow's Alabama game will be sparsely attended?

I saw Weigels Kingston Pike at $5.00 today. Funny the Shell station next to it was I think about $4.50. Never saw these such prices disparsity in my life of gas stations from each other. Uusally the prices are close.

Went to T Head in Maryhville (typo but it looks good!) last night and coming home it looked like some kind of weird festival going at the Kroger on 411. I think regular was $3.99, but oh what a crowd! Saw the nearby Shell station raising its prices a couple hours before. After we passed K-rog coming home, noticed The Food City nearby looked out of gas, but almost all the stations on the Motor Mile had gas and were not crowded. Prices there were typically $4.59, but a few were lower.

I hope the party was fun, because they didn't save much and normalcy will soon return.
