It is updated daily.

jdarg, I think the peanut butter bar man is so low on gas that the only station in driving distance is the BP station which has been out of gas for three weeks. I'm guessing he has been riding his bike to work so that he has enough gas to get to the BP station when they get a delivery. Crazy!!! Yesterday, I noticed the gas prices at Tom Thumb Seagrove decreased to $3.629 per gallon. We haven't really had much issue being without gas, so it is hard to understand why so much of Atlanta is out of gas, except for the fact that people are stuck in traffic in and around Atlanta, for four hours a day, burning fuel.

There is so much panic buying going on that the deliveries are way behind the curve. Everybody is in the mindset that they have to keep their cars filled for fear that there will not be any more gas. If everybody could or would get back to normal buying patterns, things would resolve a lot quicker...

According to an NPR show earlier this week Atlanta is required by the EPA to include special additives in the gas to combat smog. This was the reason Atlanta and the immediate vicinity was hit so hard; the refineries just couldn't keep up with demand for the special blend. Gov. Sonny Perdue asked for and received a temporary waiver from the EPA due to the extreme shortages in some areas of metropolitan Atlanta. He said that most stations should have "regular" gas by Sunday or Monday.

It's really not...and my health will improve. My folks went out of town for the week, and left the caddy full of gas at their house in the event that I don't find gas for the MINI. Geez...how long can this gas problem actually last?
