Gasoline lines or shortages

[txswinner]

Has anyone other than in immediate Katrina area suffered any gasoline availability problems. Not the wait cause everyone is filling up before the gas goes up again tonight but real no gasoline available situations.

The station I trade at was out of gas and said it would be 3 to 5 days before they can get more! So the rush really hit some places hard. But there was no line!

Down here in the Orlando area, it seems like people are letting panic rule. Some of the gas stations are closing early and others have large lines. I think too many sheep are watching the idiot local news about the end of the world and believing that no gas will make it to Florida in the next 2 months. Hopefully it is just panic and not real.

Got cash, get gas. No waiting on pumps 1-8. No issues yet here in the upper midwest.

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

There was a run yesterday on gas as people filled up before gas goes up more. I know at least 2-3 stations that were out this morning and closed. This is in middle TN.

No problems in St. Louis... everyone filled up at $2.39 and now it's all the gas you can drink at $3.00<br /><br />....ahhh, 11 hours and I get to go burn 4 gallons to get to work.

That's right, it's Bush's fault. Not. Supply and demand Ctoolman. A hell of a lot of demand and little supply.

We need more refineries. Something tells me the EPA is about to get the shaft.

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

Have'nt seen any real lines, but the stations seem busy.. More so than usual...<br /><br />Have'nt seen the big price jump either... Most stations have gone up 10 cents across the board.. Super is up to $3.09 at a few stations near the airport, where super's been $2.99 for weeks now....

That'd be fine by me...

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

Actually pointer, just got off the phone with my wife. She waited in lines twice today for gas. The second station ran out right after she was done!!!<br /><br />I asked her if my Jeep ran ok afterwards, didn't want the scudge on the bottom of the tank <br /><br />Apparently there are 2 stations sans-gasoline in the Pewaukee-Sussex area.

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

I ran into a brief line today at a station with the lowest prices. Seen an old lady almost get into a fight with one moron pulling in front of her at the pump <br /><br />Average price in my area as of 4:00 today.. $2.97 or so.<br /><br />I filled up at $2.80. I doubt it will be that tomorrow.<br /><br />I thought about taking all my cars down, but in reality, you won't be saving a whole lot.. And i hate having gas sitting around for very long. It goes bad quicker than you think... Even with stabilizer.<br /><br />I am however... filling all of my propane bottles. So far those prices are unaffected.<br /><br />As for shortages.. pure BullS**. Albeit there are problems in the storm area, but there are no shortages. <br />That storm could have been 10,000 miles away and they still would have raised prices and blame the storm. Pure profit.<br /><br />H.

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

Friend called said you better go fill up. Daughter-in-law called from work said you better go fill up. Son called from work said you better go fill up. Hmmmm, wonder why everybody was out buying gas today?

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

I sitll havent seen any lines here. Went out last night to fill up before the prices went up again. Filled up at 2.69, now everybody is at 2.79<br /><br />Ken

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

filled up diesel at 2.75 - ouch<br /><br />went to Sams and filled both cars up for 2.60. chevron was 2.79<br /><br />Sams was packed people buying before prices go up more. none of my cars were empty but I filled both cars and the truck up. Truck should get me though about 3 weeks or so (only drive it to the lake)

Re: Gasoline lines or shortages

Some unconfirmed claims of Diesel being out yesterday. Otherwise it is business as usual, at a well inflated price.
