They know people aren't cancelling their weekend plans, and will pay whatever they ask once they're up there ... We're heading up to the Ellsworth area tonight for the whole weekend, and have decided to take the wife's super efficient little Honda 4 banger, rather than my mid sized 6 cylinder SUV ... So my 6'5" frame is looking forward to being wedged in that little tiny plastic hunk of Japanese shit for 5 hours.
I haven't seen 5.00 in NH, not saying the entire state has been that way, but if anything the price increases around me have been less than what we've been hearing everywhere else ... $2.77 yesterday morning, $2.89 by the end of the day ... A few places creeping up to $3 today. Don't know if it's everywhere though. |

Well my friend, this is going to get worse before it gets better. The question becomes how much can the average person take. We have a very low income state and this is going to break some people.

Last time I went to the pumps it was $3.20 for regular and in the range of $3.50 for premium.
There has got to be a way to mix your own regular gas. |

Its anywhere from $3.25 to $3.50 here in New Jersey.............24 hours ago it was $3.15 in New Hampshire.............48 Hours ago it was $2.60 in NH..........Who knows........I would stock up if at all possible - some cities have run DRY - completely out of gas!! (down South so far). Prepare now - maybe look into carpooling

$2.99 yesterday and today in northern NJ.. Got lucky yesterday and tanked up at the one station on the strip that forgot to up his prices at daybreak and got it for $2.49.
NJ always runs some of the lowest gas prices though. Funny because it's all full-service. |

Why is this surprising given everybody with a functioning vehicle is buying huge quantities of gas? They will regret having all of it in about 2 weeks when most of the pumping capacity is restored. The pipelines are not running due to lack of electricty, not because they were destroyed.

Got over 45 gallons stored on the property up in Maine. You guys should hang out in the SURVIAL section more. I have been keeping gas on hand for almost a month.

Tuesday gas was $2.67. Today I topped off the tank at $2.99 and the gas station across the street was $3.09. I have a feeling by the end of next week it will be over $3.50

Weirdness here in Vermont.
I was only able to find one (1) five gallon gas can in all of Burlington. Walmart was out, HD was cleaned out, ACE, local auto parts stores - all out. In fact, the NAPA guy told me that the nearest NAPA with any in stock was CT. I saw two people filling up gas cans just on my way down the street to the post office...maybe the sheeple have awoken. eta: $3.29 here. |

Standish, Maine. reporting here . . . $3.49/9 for super
One Gas station here in town yesterday was $2.68/9 for regular when I left in the morning, and 10 hours later when I returned they were up to $3.68/9 for regular!! Then again this morning they were down to $3.09/9 I think they are playing with the prices to their benefit, because there is no way they went thru all that gas, refilled, and then went thru it again. The town has way less than 20,000 people residing (Population in 2000 was 9285) and this is a small gas station compared to the others in town, which most people use more than this one. So MaineAR, IM me about this dock talk would ya? M4-CQBR out |

Watching all this, its become apparent that the prices are being driven by uncertainty rather than the lack of supply. A little bit of price gouging thrown in there somewhere too. People should be outraged, and complain to the FTC. |

Well guys, thanks for all the replies. I do have an update. I stopped by my local station on the way home to top off in preparation for a 4-wheeler trip at a friends camp this weekend. As I was standing there we were informed that when the station runs out of gas they won't be selling any more until prices come down.
Sorry to say, but the 4-wheeler trip has been canceled as this has turned from an expense issue to a supply issue. I went to home depot to pickup 2 more 5 gallon cans and they were all sold out. They had shelves full of them on Wednesday when I went. The report is more grim than it was earlier. I'll keep you posted and I wish everyone good luck. |

I'm only passing on what people have been telling me and what I'm seeing with my own eyes. The big test will be tomorrow. The station predicted that they would stop selling gas by midnight. I'm going to check tomorrow to see just how true all of this is.
Either way I will update tomorrow. Believe me, I hope all of this is just some dumb attendant trying to act like a big shot. The problem is he seemed to have more detail than just a regular moron and all of the co-workers were agreeing. There was a general mood in the station that wasn't good and like I say Home Depot was out of 5 gallon cans, so someboy out there is stocking up for something. |

$3.29 here in the Milford/Old Town area. No telling what it is in Bangor. Sam's Club is the cheapest place around though, so I recommend going there if you have a membership. Even if you don't, the 30 or 40 bucks will be made up for with the money you'll save on gas after a month or so.

So where are you in Maine? North, South, East, West? Why are you being evasive as to where you got your info? Trying to start a mass panic? First you heard some "dock rumors", then "people" (plural for all you high schoolers), now "the station" . . . what gives man... anti up It is 12:15am and gas is still for sale here in southern Maine. I called several stations around the Portland area and they have no worries about running out. |

Sorry to say this, but you ain't seen nothing yet. Maines economy depends a lot on tourism. And I happen to love Maine, it's a beautiful state, but... Myself and the GF had been planning one of our bi-annual trips to Kittery to do some shopping. A few hours ago we decided to cancel it because the cost of gas wouldn't make the trip worthwhile (and she has a 4 cylinder Toyota Corolla... never mind the gas mileage my Jeep Cherokee gets  , and we live less than an hour away ).By my estimate, it's not that far fetched that others have canceled their excursions to ME as well. And unless some miracle happens withen the next few months (like gas prices suddenly dropping), I kind'a doubt that the "leaf peepers" will be heading up that way when Autumn arrives. FWIW... it's not just ME that is going to be screwed, we are all going to be screwed in one way or another. |
