no problems here in utah I hear that they are having problems like that in the south do to the hurricans though
It was hard to find gas here in Houston the first few days after IKE hit. No one should really see the effects at the gas pumps due to the hurricane just yet. I was told the oil refineries here in Texas (which is actually in the Gulf of Mexico) had 6 weeks of oil pumped before the shut down. No one should see those effects for atleast another month-which is pretty scary to hear because I couldn't imagine paying over $4 for gas! It's $3.67 in my neighborhood for regular...and we just got electricity back. I see gas trucks daily all over the place, so I am not really sure what the deal is out there where people are having trouble finding gas already.Originally Posted by gemlady
There were some places in western Kentucky that were asking folks to limit their purchase and some did run out. We were told it was due to the oil refineries in Texas that had to shut down because of Hurricane Ike.
