In my town today, gas jumped up .20 cents a gallon.  It happened in a matter of hours.  Did your local gas stations do the same thing?  Post your price per gallon here.  Let's so who is cheapest, and who is most expensive.  Where can we find good deals at? 
Since I don't drive, I do not know what my price is exactly, my sister had told me, but I forgot.  LOL

Overnight our gas jumped 28 cents from 3.51 to 3.79 overnight.  There was one local station that doesn't open til 9 am but sells gas (unmanned) 24 hours a day.  There were 15 vehicles trying to get gas at 7 am.
After lunch, within 1 hour from returning, our chief went to the store and said gas had jumped to 4.02 a gallon.  That same store that had it so cheap this morning was still at 3.79, but directly across the street was selling at 3.99...... I have heard that by monday it could be as high as 5.25 a gallon, depending on the hurricanes damage!!!!!
I need a 3rd and 4th job to pay for gas.... especially since my husband is laid off!!!!

Just bought gas in Maumelle for $3.79.   Saw it for over $4.00 as well.   Lots of people lining up to top off their tanks.

Tuesday it was 3.47 / gal.  Yesterday when I was going home it was 3.79 and today when I actually got gas it was 3.95.  Not sure now...

Alot of our gas stations ran out of gas today.  My room mate was getting some gas at WalMart and said that one person filled up their car, and then filled up 4 of the 5 gallon gas jugs.  How crazy is that?  Thee WalMart gas station had a line that went all the way out to the WalMart parking lot. 

My roomie, who watches the news every morning and night, said that gas will probably be back at its original price (what it was yesterday or day before) by the middle of next week.  I hope he is right.

Went about 3:30 this afternoon to Sam's Club here in Ft. Smith to fill up mainly because I am heading to Oklahoma City on Sunday for my surgery Monday and didn't want to fill up in the rain.  Gas was 3.79 there, and there was a line of at least 6 cars at each pump.  And then I hear that Beebe has instituted the emergency price gouging law.  Don't think it is doing any good!  See ya'll on the other side.  Michael

Good luck Michael.  We'll be thinking of you on Monday.  We'll all be scooting over to make room for your spot on the losers bench!
