Fuel and Energy Alternatives

Things have really improved in the last two weeks over the Asheville area. There are fewer locations that are just out of gas. Few have premium or Hi test these days, most every place I’ve seen has regular though. I’ve also seen prices start to drop. The lowest I saw was today at 3.04 a gallon. Just this morning I was seeing 3.49 a gallon at the same station. So, things really are improving in Asheville and from what I can tell, the rest of the southeast. I’m looking forward to the price drop continuing under $3 per gallon soon hopefully.

In the wake of Hurricane’s Ike and Gustav, fuel (gas or gasoline) supplies have been interrupted in the Southeast United States. Southern states such as North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee have seen some of the more severe shortages of fuel. Long gas lines have been reported in places such as Asheville, North Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia.
