Any South Carolina teams taking a long haul this weekend for a R3PL match?
Gas is certainly at a premium, in fact I don't think there's a drop left in York County!

It will be interesting to see the backlash of traveling soccer amidst $4.50 gas prices! Geeeeshhhh, might need to go back to playing a "local" schedule as in the old Lowcountry and Trident days. I guess the Midlands would have the Mid-District and such. Cannot rationalize like competition 100 miles away vs. similar competition 15 miles away.

I drove by five gas stations on my way home from the Fort Mill football game tonight. Four of them were out of gas.

What's the highest you've seen?

I feel so out of the loop, lol. The gas stations I passed here in Charleston were all 3.69ish.

Yeah, looks like we still have it relatively good in the Charleston area...haven't driven around today, but as of yesterday I saw prices anywhere from $3.49 to $3.99. The crazy thing is you see stations within a block or two of each other with a $.30 difference in prices. Seems like a lot of places are just testing to see how much they can get away with.
I've got good news and bad news...

I think this "hysteria" pertained only to the Charlotte market and prices were back close to normal by Sunday.
