$3.27-3.45 at least right now

There are a couple of cars in line at each pump here in Manteo at every gas station. I've seen one station with "out" signs on the regular so far. Prices at 2:30 pm today were $3.27 regular up to $3.45 premium. Also saw a couple of people filling up gas cans too. I think everyone is just a little scared right now with the unknown. I have heard one station manager say they would not receive any more gas until Monday. That could be significant for visitors coming to the OBX for Labor Day weekend vacations.
Update from tonite: The "high priced leader", Nags Head Jockey's Ridge Shell was at $3.39 for regular and $3.62!!!! for premium. Yikes! Texaco Red Apple in Manteo is OUT OF GAS!
