Seemed like the pumps were busier than normal here in S Florida this morning. I won’t need gas until Sunday or Monday, hopeful this mini-panic, if indeed that’s what it is, will be over by then. ---

> [@SoulSearching](#): > > I live in Atlanta. As a matter of fact, the gas is about $4 right now. We happen to have the busiest BP in the entire nation in Midtown and after a panic this evening, the station was closed. Just think, the busiest BP in the nation, closed… Gas stations on Buford Highway are selling at $3.09 a gallon, just FYI. And no lines either. The pipeline terminals are up in Doraville, close to there. No idea if that actually affects anything, but I notice the farther you get from the terminals, the more expensive the gas gets. ---

Buffalo is pretty dry. Lines four or five cars deep at every station I passed a few hours ago. According to Gas Buddy and some other reports, the remaining stations with gas are are charging between $3.90 and $4.10 a gallon. Overall, Buffalo now has the most expensive gasoline in the US now. Shit, I said that in a couple of other threads. I’m just wondering what’s going on here that’s not going on elsewhere in the US. ---

The average price I see around eastside Metro Detroit is $3.29 for regular (this was for tonight). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-gas-panic-on-everywhere-or-just-here/319541.md?page=2)
