I talked to my mom last night, she lives in San Antonio, TX. She said gas is nowhere to be found down there, and it skyrocketed to between 4.50-5.00 a gallon. Everyone went crazy and filled up their tanks, bought bread and water. None of it can be found anywhere. They are fucked down there though if they ever get hit. Theres no drainage on the roads. It rains for 10 minutes and they are flooding and shutting down highways. ---

I will continue to buy gas because I need to drive to get to work. I could give a fucks less what the gas price is anymore. 1. Yes, oil companies are making tons of money 2. bush really has little to do with gas prices 3. quit bitching about things you cannot change /thread and every thread about gas prices going up [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oil-prices-surge-as-hurricane-rita-nears/177205.md?page=2)
