. . . arises a blog. A live blog. Someone, in the middle of downtown New Orleans is keeping a blog. Right now.
There is a huge diesel generator that’s given a few guys from Zipa, a webhosting company, the opportunity to let the world in on what’s going on. Who knows how long the power will stay on, but it’s keeping them alive and letting the world hear their voice.

I paid $2.659 a gallon this past Sunday. This was the absolute, bottom price I could find at any gas station in my area.
The next time I fill up, I will repost the amount per gallon, hopefully with a photo. I expect that I won’t find it for less than $3.25 a gallon.
If you believe there’s a gas station which is committing the crime of price gouging, be sure to report it to the US Department of Energy.
9/17/05 – After prices went up to about $3.25 in different areas, I have been lucky enough that I haven’t needed gas for a few weeks. But, I filled up my tank yesterday for $2.889 per gallon. Still really high, but not as high as I expected.
