Have not seen a problem here in Jacksonville. Lots of the stuff comes in here, and we do have a couple of multi-million gallon storage tanks here. A lot closer than TX to GA and Savanna. Could be a problem with existing contracts and with greedy folks. BillR

One place I stopped the pump was running so slowly I finally just left after about 15 min with only a partial tank -- must be their way of rationing. In Charleston area, prices are down a bit from that, but still higher than a week or 2 ago before Ike. Apparently there are "issues" related to refineries and pipelines and whatnot, not sure I believe that as a lot of the east coast is imported? --R Gary Hurst wrote: > my zip code says i live in lilburn, GA, but i don't live in lilburn any more > than i live in snellville (probably even less so), lawrenceville or stone > mountain. the name traditionally given to the area is "five forks", which > today really amount to just a relatively small cluster of strip malls, gas > stations and fast food joints. there are 4 gas stations: Quicktrip, shell, > chevron and kroger. only the kroger has gas and there is a huge line to get > some. the rest are all dry. when a station gets fuel, they can sell it for > about 4.50 a gallon and they sell every drop. > > my understanding is that this is the case is much of georgia and the > southeast. i'm told this has something to do with it having rained in > houston. am i being manipulated and defrauded here? > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
