Rumor has it that gas is going to jump to over $4 per gallon by tomorrow. Thats an increase of over $1.40! If the rumors are true, waiting until tomorrow could cost me over $40 bucks more than normal. So, true or not, I figured I would play it safe and fill up both Lori’s and my car tonight.
Evidentally I’m not the only one who heard the rumor. I stopped to top off my tank at about 7:30. It was packed with over 20 cars jockeying for position at one of the 8 pumps. After 20 minutes at the gas station, I figured I would take Lori’s car over later.
At about 11:30 I hopped into her car and headed back. As I got out of her car, the newly posted sign on the pump caught my eye.
OUT OF GAS?! Ok, fine, I decided to head to one of the other gas stations nearby - surely they would have some go juice. No luck. The next TWO gas stations were also out of the low octane - cheap(er) gas.
Un-freaking-believeable. The fourth gas station I stopped at finally had gas.
I feel like I’m living in communist Russia.
Update:
As of 10:30 today, Gas is still the same price. Either the rumors weren’t true and I spent my night on a tour of Fort Wayne gas stations, or the price will jump sometime today. I’m hoping the rumors were false.
