Fuel Shortage.

[Sully]

Anyone have a Fuel Shortage in their City. We have a Panic here for Fuel. Stations are out of gas and have raised prices on what they had. The News Media is going crazy.......Price was around $2.20 and has gone up to over $4.00.

Good Luck and Stay Safe.....

Folks are lining up here in Jacksonville Fl today as Premium is @ $3.55, Regular is $2.85

As far as I know there is no shortage here yet, but you can bet people will panic more as the local news spells out the lies

Our local city council wants to double the city tax on gas. We have Federal, state and city tax on gas, but no State income tax

[Sully]

Just Now The Governor Has removed All Gas Tax To Be Collected at Gas Stations Till The End Of The Week.

Whenever they want to raise the price on something, they know the people will bitch. So they create a shortage. Then people don't care what it costs as long as they can get it.

This reminds me of 1973 and we all survived ‘ At least I did and I’m sure many others also survived...Remember the cry back then in 73 if gasoline goes to a dollar a gallon I’m selling my car never drive again...😁...

But you’s guys think it’s so tough I just brought my Bentley in and I had the tires rotated and it cost me $750... I don’t know how I’m going to afford gasoline I might have to switch from 93 to 87 octane 😱.....

2.85 here for regular also, no shortages or lines yet.

My small town’s only two gas stations are out of fuel, as are the only three stations in the nearest town down the road. I had to drive 20 miles towards NC to find a station with gas and it charged $3.29 a gallon. I’m going back to the station in the AM to fill up my 12 gallon gas can. I figure I can use the gas in my mower and power equipment if the shortage is short lived.

I agree, our city leaders are not very smart here and the local news channel must take their copy from CNN

And was I when I was pushing a Mopar 383cid 375hp stock that I had punched out to 550hp. If I pampered it it got about 8-10mpg and when I didn't 2-4mpg with a 780 4bbl Holley with the dual pumper. I was saying same thing that if gas ever hit a dollar a gallon I might have to unload the gas guzzler. I eventually did a year later.

I bought it when I could fill the tank for under $3.00 and less for a tankful very hi-octane American gas. Gas wars would get prices down to as low as $0.179 a gallon at times but averaged about $0.249 a gallon when I first bought the Plymouth RR in Dec 1971.

I had a 440 68 Charger....Dynoed at 580+...8 MPG..But i sold it in 71 and got a 71 VW Beetle 30 MPG..I used it to commute into Manhattan every day..And when the embargo hit i was the only one on the road....I never had a problem getting gas...I Had a relative who owned a gas staton...

As of 4 pm ET Wednesday, 68% of all gas stations in North Carolina, 45% in Georgia, 49% in Virginia and 45% in South Carolina were without gasoline, according to GasBuddy, an app that tracks fuel demand, prices and outages. That's substantially higher than early Wednesday morning.

Everybody complaining about gas Prices. We have been paying over $3.00 per gallon for more than 6 months. and in some places in the city of San Diego premium is more than $5.00 a gallon.

[cScjhb]

The Phoenix area has been holding steady at about $3.09 for regular for the last 3 or 4 months. Getting out of town 30 or 40 miles the price drops about 20 cents. Go figure..... We get our fuel from California but ours is generally less than they pay. Go figure again...... Gee, wouldn't it be nice to have another source for oil transport? Maybe something like a Keystone Pipeline.....?

[Jack Klarich]

The MSM had been reporting how dire the gas shortage was here in Florida

Not true, in fact Jacksonville was set up to send tanker trucks west to the panhandle with fuel

Our great Governor was ahead of the curve on this so called shortage

If you think its getting bad now, just wait for the next one to be closed and its coming: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...line5-shutdown

In my opinion the 'Cyber Attack' at the Colonial Pipe Line was intentional and meant to disrupt the population. My guess is the computer operating system that was 'Hacked' was a Microsoft product, possibly Windows 10 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...s-5-zero-days/ any place where you have sensitive data or infrastructure and you know that Microsoft gets hacked its time to protect it with either Red Hat or Fedora operating systems that is used by business. Protect the data, I'm an average citizen and I trust my data to Linux Mint.

Back to the regular topic.

Yeah, sounds just like something the dems would do. They're that sneaky. (Just like the VC and NVA back in the day.)

Am I the only one that has a feeling this was a test run for something bigger?
