I'm afraid that the refineries are going to be down a lot longer than anyone anticipated. Most of the refinery workers don't have a place to stay now or a way to get back into work.

Another bad sign: The Colonial pipeline which delivers gasoline from the Gulf Coast into Fairfax is down, too.

Today in Houston, the spot price of regular gasoline went to $3.15. It is only a matter of time before the price surge hits us. Fortunately, street prices around NOVA have been level since Sunday nite.

most of them are going around $24 with some options on them (side air bags, smart key, etc) ones with nav are around $26.

they have been performing great as far as i can see even if there is an electrical problem the warranty will take care of it anyways.....you don't run a risk or getting shocked or anything

this evening i talked to a guy workin up in fairfax where all the gas terminals are located off pickett road, he said that the pipeline is down only for precautionary purposes. it will be back up in a couple of days max. but yeah gasoline futures are goin up like crazy, infact trading for it was haltedcause it went past the 25 cent increase limit set
