This was on CNN and straight from our Governor's mouth. BSO (Broward Sheriffs Office) and other city's have already started shutting down there gas pumps that's used for there vehicles in order to save gas just in case there is a shortage. I would take this seriously and get as much gas as you can just in case.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Governor Jeb Bush is warning Florida could see shortages of gasoline in coming days as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

The hurricane roared through the nation's major gas refineries and shut down production of thousands of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Bush says Florida has worked with the US Department of Energy and the Petroleum Industry to bring significant supplies of gasoline into the state's ports.

But David Mica of the Florida Petroleum Council says it will take time before oil rigs and refineries are operating again.

Bush blames oil companies for keeping lower inventories than they have in the past and that makes shortages more likely. But Mica says the oil industry has produced record amounts of petroleum each of the last three years and that global demand has also increased to record levels.

My sister just saw something on the news that said gas is up to $5/gallon in Atlanta!! Did anyone else hear anything like that?

SkyHighT100 · August 31, 2005, 06:31:32 PM

I just heard that as well... something like $4.50ish for gas..... but also a lot of the gas stations around the flooded/hurricane hit areas are over $5 a gallon for gas because they are running on generators and giving gas to the police/military/etc. SO there is no telling whats going on when it comes to gas, lol... I take it day by day.

I'm gonna try to hit Costco in the morning before work,,,,usually there is noone there at 6:30am, we shall see tomorrow.

I know there was a line about 20 cars long at a gas station about 1/2 mile from me today, and the station across the street had already been attacked by the mobs and their pumps were dry.

I topped off my tank in Orlando tonight (filled the quads too

) There was a line of 15 cars at the gas station. Regular was already gone. School busses in Orange county have cancelled field trips and sporting event transit. It is only going to get worse. I might have to bail on the ride this w/e so I can have gas to get to work

They are asying no gas coming to Orlando for 3 days.

Ida_Mann · September 01, 2005, 08:14:05 AM

tried costco in altemonte springs this AM at 6:15 they had gas, but the system was down and the only card that would work at the pumps was AMEX.

oh well, I'll try this afternoon,,,,,good thing I have a book.

They can get the pipelines running before they get food and water to everyone there? Amazing.
