The guy who took the pictures said this:

i think i heard a few people calling their friends to bring drums or gas cans to fill up. i dunno if they actually did or not... the police actually showed up within an hour or so and closed off the station with cones.

and the actual gas station was closed, as in there was no attendent there. the pumps were left on at night, as they usually are. either way, i doubt this will ever happen again, but i definently hope it does.

and im not sure if it made local news or not, but i have a feeling it was at least in the city paper. ill take a look.

Even if my vehicle DID require 91, it would be worth it to fill up, then dump in a bottle of octane booster, if you're really concerned. But even if you didn't, most vehicles rated at 91 can run on lower octane, but with less performance.

I'm sending those pics to work. My crew will get a kick out of that!

We may have hit bottom.....Oklahoma City gas prices have gone back up to $1.82 from $1.81 last week, instead of continually dropping every day like it had for the past two weeks or so....maybe the latest "recovery" is over.....

Instead of posting prices here, why not post them to a site that actively updates the prices for your area? I know there are several sites out there, but how about:

or
