The second weekend in September 2008 held a gas price scare for Virginian's due to the threat of Hurricane Ike in the Gulf Coast. Long lines were seen at many gas stations throughout our area and some stations ran out of fuel through the weekend. Though gas prices reached over $5 per gallon in many areas surrounding the New River Valley, prices in our area stayed steady around $3.79 to $4. Photos by David Grimes and Larry Middleton.
