On the global market, gas prices are falling. Locally, they are on the rise — if you can get gas. On September 12, at 9.m., Clarksville Online staff bought gas on North Second Street where a sign on the pumps limited gas sales to 10 gallons per customer at $3.61 a gallon. At 9 p.m. that night, gas had topped out at a high of $4.17 a gallon with the uncertainty and panic buying as Hurricane Ike raked the Gulf coast.At Mapco (left) in New Providence, any gas that’s left will cost $4.25 for regular unleaded.
At the Kangaroo Mart in New Providence, an employee, Latoya, said that her boss hadn’t raised prices; she wasn’t sure why, but they had experienced much higher than normal gas traffic as a result.
At another station, another woman, Sibohan, was filling up her car with premium gas because that was all the station had left. She said her car takes roughly $65 to fill up fully, but with prices as they are, she wasn’t doing that very often. This purchase: $20, or just under 5 gallons.Four days ago, Clarksville Online found one station off Wilma Rudolph Bolevard with a staggering $102 tally on one of its pumps.
Among the drivers feeling the pain was a woman at Krogers/Dover Road who declined to be identified but who said that her commute to Nashville required a painful two fill-ups a week.
