I knew there were some supply issues with gas due to the ethanol upgrades, but I didn't think it was that bad. I needed to fill up on my way home yesterday and decided I would just do it on my way to work this AM. Big mistake. I drove to 6 or 7 gas stations and none of them had premium or even mid-grade. My low fuel light was on and I was starting to consider putting in a couple gallons of regular to help me get by when I found a BP that miraculously had premium gas. Whew. It made me late for work too. Just wanted to give people a heads up that they may have to look around for premium today. Oceana (on base) didn't have premium either. It also cost $54.75 to fill up, ugh.

 

I filled up this AM at SUNCO the total price of $48.00 even and I was *****ing. After reading your post, I will halt my complaining and buy myself a WAWA hogie with my extra 6 bucks.

 

I put 17.25 gallons in at $3.17 per gallon.

 

$55 a tank ain't no joke...that hurts.

 

I was thinking of going for a drive on Sunday too since it'll be sunny out. I don't know now. I'll see if the gas availability gets better. I was thinking of going through Colonial Parkway again or just down 64 to Richmond.

 

Is that all of Hampton roads because i was planning on coming down there this weekend....and I gotta be able to get back...

 

Damn! and I have two turbo cars and a Z. I have to think practical. Something has to go. Probably the two turbo cars

 

I live in Vb and work in Norfolk. I was only looking in VB. The place I found premium was the BP at Laskin and 1st Colonial. He said they had made the switch to the new fuel. I haven't noticed a difference. I'm sure the issue will abate, but I don't know how long it will take. I'm just concerned if it becomes worse prices will go up even more like New Orleans style.

 

This gas issue is pissing me off, and the worst part is , there's nothing I can do, but pay what they ask. Fu!!

 

Just got ownd!! $49.70. Needless to say the whole drive home was don performing under 3000 RPM ((((

 

The 7-11 on Oceana Blvd has it. At least they did on Sunday.

 

I've been practicing conservative driving: keeping the RPM below 4,000. That lasts about 20 minutes before I get bored to tears and hit the gas!

 

man anit no way in H**L gas prices or gona syop me from enjoying my Z.
its total BS but what can u do.

 

North of Baltimore the price just hit $3.20 Per gallon today. Has anyone else noticed the way they raise the price on Fridays.....

 

I guess the shortage isn't just in VB:

This sucks! Im PCSing from San Diego in May and that was the one thing I was looking forward to! Cheap gas! Not anymore I guess Ive learned how to be VERy conservative and can get 30 mpg on highway. What is average price for 93 in VB? Ill be right down the road from Oceana in Dam Neck btw.

 

I just paid $3.24 a gallon for Premium. Oh well, that is the cost of a sports car

 

Dropped 56K in Falls Church...5 miles for our Nations Capitol!!!

 

Wow, 56K.....hope you got more than just gas.
