Nope. Not in church where we normally are but waiting in line to get gas for over 40 minutes.This morning as I woke up, I started to call around to see if there is any gasoline in any gas stations nearby. No such luck. Until I searched Google and found this website, Atlanta Gas Prices. I'm sure a lot of Atlantans already knew about this site. It's a user-based website that people log in to update the gas price for the area. After a quick search I found that Kroger has gas. So I woke up Mr. Rojo and we headed out. On the way, we saw a Chevron station also has gas and they were closer. So we made a u-turn and got in line.
Hmm.. The line was deceiving. It was like we were at Disney World except instead of waiting for a ride we waited for gas. From the street you won't see the line but as soon as you turned to the station you will see that the line didn't end there. It wrapped around the parking lot. The gas station staffs are very helpful and organized. The line was long but orderly. So it wasn't such a bad experience considering other altercations I have heard from my friends and the news. The station also asks that we fill up for $30 worth of gas. They didn't enforce it but we obliged. At least that what we can do to help each other out. We did saw one car who ran out of gas that they needed to push the car to the station.
So if you really need gas, you might want to check out Atlanta Gas Price before you head out. Make sure to call the station before hand as well. Today we will be homebound. I hope the situation will help opening up for awareness to look for alternative energy resource and for us to start living with less waste energy and resource!

Sorry you have to deal with this--at least you found a good resource. Thanks for sharing.
Yikes that has to be a pain & scary. When the gas prices first got all crazy high, we had a gas station that was always at least .10 cheaper sometimes up to .20 cheaper. There was always a huge line going all the way down the busy street. It was crazy.
I can't even imagine waiting because every one is out of gas. Totally scary, something needs to be done! I've already cut my driving way down. When you have kids though, you have to drive quite a bit with school, activities & shopping etc for things they need.
Stopped by through Entrecard :)
That totally sucks. I can't imagine having to deal with lines like that!
I didn't know about that site. Thanks for the info. Will pass it along to my husband since he has to venture out for gas this week.
