I put in 8 gallons after work @$3.45/gal 93 sunoco.

In Jersey, even on the GSP it'll be cheaper...so I'll get there on what I have and top it off on the way back.

Most of us don't have gas in our areas to buy. So I wouldn't care if it was $10.00 a gallon if they would just provide some to my family in Mississippi so they can get over here to me. Gas went up a $1.50 overnite and when and if you find it they limit you to $20.00 worth per car. So they have to wait until the next day and stand in line and hope there is going to be gas when they finally reach there and do this for several days until they save up enough gas to make a run for it out of Mississippi. I think it is wrong about the way the gas prices was going before the tragic hurricane and I believe we are still being taken advantage of but right now there are more important things like people are literally dying all over these states everyday because of lack of supplies and medicine. The sick, babies and elderly are being hit really hard with death right now and people are still trapped and starving to death right on the camera on tv in my state. I am watching it in my living room in America and not in some third world country that I can't pronounced the name of. So please, don't complain right now about gas prices, there is pure HELL on EARTH going on right now down here. The people here need assistance please contact your Congress persons and ask them to please send HELP!
