Re: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS AND LINES AT GAS STATIONS
We had the same prices, but HUGE lines and even a couple of station were shown on the news as tapped dry. The fact that 3 AG's (OK, TX and MS) reported issues with it yesterday, implies it did occur, but I didn't see anything but the long lines personally. So, not the bulls**it you thought, but not quite the big deal that some of us thought either. JayW [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/01 08:46AM For those of you who posted RUMORS of gas lines and rising prices for gasoline, consider yourself part of OUR enemy. PLEASE, PLEASE post only information that you personally know to be factual. So here are the facts from the Northern Suburbs of Chicago, where our gas prices are among the highest in the U.S. I reported yesterday that a gas station near my office was at $2.09 for a gallon of premium on my way into work yesterday morning. However, when I went out for lunch, the price had DROPPED to $1.99 per gallon. After all the RUMORS yesterday and the fact that I had less than a quarter of a tank of gas in my car, I was somewhat concerned. But at 5:00PM that gas station near my office was STILL at $1.99 per gallon and to my surprise, NO LINES! I figured that since I pass several gas stations on my way home, I'd take a chance that the RUMORS were bulls**t and wait to fill at the station near my home. Well, every gas station I passed had the same pricing as in the morning and there were NO LINES to be seen. Finally, I came to the gas station near my home, and the price of gas hadn't changed and there were NO LINES, so I pulled in and filled up as usual. So for those of you who are willing to pass rumors and join our enemies in battle, I suggest you have an opportunity to leave the enemy and rejoin us who are lucky enough to live in the greatest land of all. And the way to do that is to check the facts before posting erroneous information and contributing to what could have been a real panic in the U.S. Murray F.

I don't know about Chicago, but I live near Kansas City, Mo. Yesterday morning regular gas was $1.58, on my way home I pass many gas stations... there were long long lines, and prices varied from $2.99 to $4.99... today all is back to where it was yesterday... no lines, no inflated prices -Original Message- From: Murray Freeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 8:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS AND LINES AT GAS STATIONS For those of you who posted RUMORS of gas lines and rising prices for gasoline, consider yourself part of OUR enemy.

RE: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS AND LINES AT GAS STATIONS
Just remember which ones were ultra-inflated next time you need to fill up!! Soon they will have to charge that much to the 4-5 customers they have left...
