Gas price increase potential

http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/30/inve...xas/index.html

Not sure what sort of trickle effect we will see here in CO, but apparently Harvey has accomplished two things:

1) shutdown of a pipeline supplying east coast.

2) a large refinery in Houston flooded.

Looks like prices on the front range are up around 10 cents/gal, but we are also coming up on a holiday weekend which would also account for the price increase.

Either way, might not be a bad idea to stock/fill up now in case it causes a higher increase than anticipated.

King sooper at 225 and Parker was up like 17 cents between yesterday morning and evening. I'm keeping the tank full. I filled every can I had a few days ago because I had $1 off at Soopers.

Noticed it yesterday afternoon.. up $.20/gal in gwv/chv/englehood.. filled up a work car in the morning.. then later when I put gas in mine it was UP..

I don't typically keep track of gas prices but gassed up the company truck today and it was $2.54 a gallon.

Diesel was 2.24 this afternoon at Wally World in Timnath...

Diesel went up 12 cents in the last two days here in Sidney nebraska

Already there. $3.15 for premium tonight.

Got your reserve tanks topped off? Might save a few bucks for the next few weeks. I plan on using them if it gets stupid up here.

I get it, and i filled up my work car just because i needed gas. I'm not gonna fill up my truck or lawn equipment cans. Remember the .22LR problem. Most of the people filling up wont use it. It might save them a few bucks in the short term. Let the panic buying begin.

I rotate my reserve tanks monthly. No panic buying here.
