Default Wrens Gas Report

I will be leaving in a few days for Wrens. I am trying to decide whether or not to bring my own gas with me. So what should we expect?

All of the stations I passed this morning had gasoline (at least regular). In the heart of Atlanta, there are still some significant price differences. The low seems to be about $3.65 in outer areas and as much as $4.50 in the city. Over the weekend I only saw one station without fuel, and I got around quite a bit this weekend. Granted, most of my travel over the weekend was about 50 miles NW of Atlanta.

I just asked around the office, whose employees arrive form North, South, East and West of Atlanta. Nobody is reporting any problems finding regular (87 octane). Some said they could not find 93 octane. Only one person said they saw a station that had no fuel this morning on the way in. They all mentioned the variations in gas pricing.

Yesterday about half of the stations right around me in Roswell were out entirely, the ones that still had gas didn't have 93 octane - prices around $3.95, today seems to be down to around $3.85.

At least enough stations have gas that there aren't lines anymore!

Joe, were you ever in the boy scouts? If so, remember the motto?

Gas should be no problems, but with the crazy stuff happening right now you are better off safe than sorry

Gas is $3.25/gallon at a lot of the gas stations around here.

I filled up my truck and work gas jugs today.... paid 3.79$ a gallon for the cheap stuff. Got 150$ worth. Hope it is cheaper as I get away from the Charlotte area.
