Folks, I don't know what you're hearing at home but there's a problem with gas availability here. The possibility of gas shortages from hurricane Ike has caused a run on gas in western NC.

Locally, many stations are out of gas. When you're coming in be sure to fuel up on Knoxville or Alcoa or, coming in the other direction, around Bryson City.

Please post any news you have about gas availability to this thread.

See you soon.

 

OMFG!!

 

i don't know about gas, but UNC is kicking Rutgers @$$!!

 

Just got gas in Robbinsville at the Texaco, all the other gas stations have gas also.

Excellent. We are hearing that gas is available in Robbinsville and at Tallassee on the other side of the Dragon.

Deals gap continues to be Bikes-only gas this weekend. Plan accordingly.

Prices have gone up. We saw a 40 cent rise from this morning to this afternoon at Tallassee.

 

Ain't capitalism grand









...or is it that shortly a 'grand' is what we'll be paying for a barrel of oil




Good of you to have posted this heads-up for folks Ron . Ya'll have fun this weekend!

 

Missed you, wingy!

 

I'm leaving Wednesday for the Dragon ;has the fuel avaliablity improved ?

My local paper says there are issues and lines in the surrounding areas

 

It was a little iffy here in Central NC the past few days, but all the local stations seemed to get deliveries this afternoon, Popeye. At worst case, you might have to go to Robbinsville for fuel, like we did. Wasn't a huge deal.

In the Research Triangle, where I work, there was no premium, at home, here in Mebane, premium was all you could get. As I said though, not too bad, and we, at least, didn't have any lines.

 

Just keep it out of vtec..... that will save fuel!!
