Where we’re at here in Mass it jumped from 2.59 Sunday night to 2.84 last night…and this morning we woke up to 3.11. Saw it as high as 3.34 on the way home tonight. No lines, though, so that’s something.

Apparently there are shortages here in Troy. I hope this doesn’t end up affecting your ability to commute to work.

I had heard that there were shortages from Dothan south yesterday, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that has hit Troy.
Mostly I think that it is panic over possible price-raising and while supply will be lower for a while, I don’t think (hope?) that there will widespread and lingering supply issues.
But yes, the commute issue has occurred to me.

I filled up this morning and paid $3.00 a gallon for the middle grade of Chevron. I drive a mid-sized car and it came to few dollars under $50 to fill the tank.
Large companies really need to consider the 10 hour day/4 day week. Simplistically, that would cause a 20% drop in gasoline usage. (I know, people will still drive on their days off.)
If the oil barrons and trader are bent on getting rich because of this disaster, let’s starve them with a sort of boycott.
Good timing!
