We have been watching it for awhile. The price of gas is steadily going up. I filled up my daughter's vehicle the other day at $3.49 a gallon. I watched the final price as it climbed up to $51.
Spokeswoman Christi Craddick took to social media this week to ask Texans to remain calm and not perpetuate rumors of a statewide gas shortage after Harvey.
I don't know about you but I have truly enjoyed the lower gas prices. It's nice to have a little extra money left over in the gas budget. I know that these prices cannot last forever but it has been nice seeing prices under $2. Well it seems that has ended for now, at least in Amarillo.
When it comes to gas, the price has been ridiculous. It seems that every time we turn around the price is creeping up again. It is sad when we get excited that gas is $3.13 per gallon. Oh to see the days of gas under $3 per gallon would be great, but it doesn't look like that will happen again.
I have found the gas prices in Amarillo are quite a shock at times. From one day to another it seems that the two main companies seem to compete but in the wrong direction. When I travel I find that Amarillo has some of the highest gas prices in the area and sometimes for hours upon hours of driving. Again this is a shock. What makes Amarillo have to have such an increase in fuel costs?
