I don't normally reply to my own emails but I just had to run down to Home
Depot. In the 2 1/2 hours since my original post, Thortons went up 9 cents
to 3.089, another place went up 36 cents to 2.999 and 2 others went up 12
cents to 2.799. The brand names are still the "cheapest".
Glad I don't drive a Hummer!

Subject: Gas Prices... WOW
We have a regional "discount" gas station called Thortons that usually has
the lowest prices around. In 2 days they've increase by 50 cents a gallon
($2.999 reg - 3.249 Prem). What's strange is that the place was packed as
usual when a drive 1/4 mile in either direction would have saved them 30 a
gallon at the name brand stations (Mobil, Shell). I'm sure the name brand
increases are close behind. BTW, I'm in Connecticut.
Any List members directly impacted by the hurricane? The devastation is
unbelievable.
