Fill your car up with gas today -- prices are about to skyrocket

Featured Replies

I guess this is the best subforum for this, but breaking news that a series of drone strikes from Yemen have crippled Saudi Arabia's oil production for at least the next several weeks. Gas is going to skyrocket in price come monday, so make sure you fill your cars with gas today.

Yep. Everyone should take off work on Monday to get gas. Probably should buy a bunch of water just in case

On the evening of 9/11, I remember waiting in line for half an hour for gas. 

On the evening of 9/11, I remember being in New Jersey and celebrating with all of my Muslim brothers. 

Or you could just go on as normal and not waste your time in line over a few bucks.

I guess there's still time to beat the idiots today though so thanks for the heads up OP. I'm almost empty.

Filled a diesel truck up with gasoline one time when I was a kid.  Does that count?

God my dad was pissed.

Wife returned from errands and reported the Valero by us was already out and the Shell had long lines.

Thinking Whataburger will give me plenty of gas

Try Taco Bell.

jokes on you my steam engine is powered by coal

Guess we should thank Greenpeace for shutting down the ship channel. We have an extra day's supply now.

The oil/gas shortage of 1973 laughs hysterically at this.

Apparently the "I'm too important to not go first" panic hasn't hit out by me.  Went to get gas (needed it, didn't panic buy) last night and passed like 8 stations, none of which were anywhere near busy.

Anyway looking like it's as it should be - nothing whatsoever.

Seriously. People are the worst.

Almost as bad when people try to rally others not to buy gas on one particular day to force the oil companies to drop their prices.

During the last gas panic I became intoxicated and when I went to get more beer I started yelling at all the people panic buying about how they were all being stupid fucks.  Luckily my old college neighbor was there and he stopped me before the authorities were notified.  /csb

When they see people doing that shit, they should shut the pumps off.

They don't give a shit if your car gets soaked with gas or your car explodes.  Once it leaves the pump the money is theirs.  

Filled up this morning, only thing that bugged me was that someone is using my Kroger fuel points. Fuckers

Times like this when I'm thankful that my commute is about 100 meters. Not today, AQ

There you go...

I live in America so I'll be fine. 

Filled up on the way home from work. $2.19, the horror!

I filled up at @ $2.15 on Saturday.  I thoroughly expect it to be $4.75 when I drive in to work today.

Willing to bet $20 that OP posted this on Nextdoor as an urgent alert before posting it here.

Surprised Parliament didn't start a Things Not Going Well in Saudi Arabia thread. 

Stopped to fill up just now and HOLY SHITBALLS.......





$2.13/gallon for 87octane. lulz

Just filled up.  No lines.  Normal price.  What could possibly be happening?  What does it all mean?

Agree, except for the fact in might take someone out who is just there to fill their tank up.
