Phuckin rediculous prices on gas. Saw on the news yesterday where some places in Georgia were selling gas for over $6.00 a gallon gouging people because of the situation. The state govt said they would would actively go after the gougers
What gets me, is the stations that already have fuel in their tanks ( & I would assume that the fuel is already paid/billed for at lower prices ) , follow suit and jack prices making even more money, before they have even received new loads at the higher prices. Im sure some stations can go days on the reserves in their tanks before they have to get refueled, so the prices should stay the same I would think, until refueling. But they dont, they take advantage of the situation.
There needs to be some regulation on this stuff during these times.

Looks like boating only one day this weekend.
I'd still like to go somewhere, it's just not worth the aggrivation at the ramp to jusr anchor.

I hear several oil rigs are missing and others are severly damaged.
Here is a pic of the MARS rig in the Gulf with heavy damage.
