Gustav will come into the Gulf of Mexico. Many oil platforms have already been evacuated of non-essential personnel. As it regains strength before crossing over Cuba and enters the Gulf, it is forecast to possibly reach Cat 4 status before landfall. I've never been on an oil platform before but I'm know I do not want to be anywhere a Cat 4 storm is going to be.

If you were able to fill up at 2.49/gal, that would certainly be a rave. Cheapest we ever saw here was 3.30/gal. Last week in Denver I paid over $4/gal. So if it's up a dime to 2.59/gal you're still way below the national average of 3.66/gal
