Recently in Gas Prices Category

This is an entry from the end of August. I am moving it to the top due to the rather dramatic price rises going on today (September 12, 2008). See comments. Charlie

******************************

I notice every station in Portland raised their prices today from the $3.46 range to $3.57. This includes Drakewood, the stations on the north end of town, and the three stations near the intersection of TN52 and TN109.

Granted the Labor Day holiday and two hurricanes are affecting things, but I find it curious that all the stations hit exactly $3.57 at almost the exact same time.

Later in the day, Mapco lowered theirs to $3.54. I guess someone figured that all the stations' raising their prices by 11 cents per gallon today was a little suspicious.

Good thing I'm not into conspiracy theories! :-)

With the price of gas these days soaring and Summer vacationing knocking at the door, I thought it might be a good topic to start where everyone can post their favorite places to visit that are close by. This might help others in planning a summer vacation that won't cost a fortune to travel to. More and more people are moving here from other states, I'm sure they would appreciate your input on places to visit in TN or KY as well. If your favorite spots have a web site, perhaps you could include that in the posting.

Happy Posting - Judy

How many believe that the gas prices, here in Portland, will reach $5.00 a gallon and how are the higher prices effecting your everyday life.
