Glad my dad has a farm, that 2,500gls of fuel may have been a good investment.

Same thing down here in Macon, GA. Some stations already out of gas, everybody panicking so the other will be soon also.

I haven't checked around here today, but I imagine it will be the same. Yesterday morning prices were at $2.69/gal in the morning. My wife and I both filled up. During the day it went up to $2.79/gal. This morning it was at $2.85/gal and I filled up two more 5gal gas cans just before prices were raised to $3.00/gal.
Supposedly, they can only raise prices once every 24 hours here in WI... |

It's started here also. The local stop and rob has 6 pumps and there cars lined up to get gas.
ETA: The X just called me and said gas stations 45 miles south of B'ham are out of gas. |

We had a huge line. I stepped out in camo's and a doo-rag with my AR15.
For a minute, I thought I was Jesus the way the sea of cars parted for me.  Ok ok, seriously? I personally havent seen shit here in KC about it. Hell, Sunday night before the storm hit I told my co-workers to be sure to fill up before they went home. One of them looked at me with the deer-in-the-headlights and asked "Why?"

Ah, yes, 1973 and 1979 all over again. Stand by for "stagflation" and "Whip Inflation Now!" buttons.... And then we'll elect a Democrat president who will promise to solve all our problems and to never lie to us. We never learn.  ETA: gas is now $2.97/gal in suburban MA. Bloody hell......

One of the main supply lines into ATL (a pipeline) is not delivering fuel because there is no electricity to the pumps and valves.
There are (at last count) 8 major offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf that are not producing. I heard this morning that they account for 1/3 of our daily consumption. It is going to be interesting over the next few weeks.......

At least no one is talking about price controls yet. I expect after the holiday it'll be back down. The governor is temporarily waiving the fuel additive restrictions for GA, which means we can be stocked by any refinery in the US. GA used to have an additive with superior pollution control to the current additive. The feds said we had to use theirs, even if it caused an increase in pollution. Go figger.

Just spoke with my mother on the phone. She said the local news or CNN (somebody) was showing pictures of a QuikTrip station nearby at FIVE DOLLARS A GALLON! They were also limiting it two gallons per customer.
I am glad I read this last night at eleven. |

Sheeple are so stupid. Things will be back to normal by Fri. if not sooner. Fools. God help us when the Chicoms nuke LA or NY. As this poor once free country goes down the tubes it becomes more and more unstable.
BTW - this was mostly a reaction to our commie newspaper scare tactic this morning with a little help from the left media. It all happened in a couple of hours. I went on a trip 18 miles at 11:30A and the gas stations were empty....returned, same path 2:30 and there were lines everywhere. Fools. |

this is truer than you think prolly. have a relative that is very liberal.. all the trimmings. works in atlanta. knows lots of CNN and other media types.. coming out of the cnn people and similar this morning they were all text messaging and emailing everyone about Atlanta being completely out of gas by the weekend. i happened to fill up this morning because i figure gas prices would go up. went back with a motorcycle this afternoon and it is a full blown panic. and stations are running out of gas. governor just declared a state of emergency and froze gas prices... my prediction is gas to flow normally by the end of the week.. latest by monday.... but i know for a fact that a lot of the early panic came out of the yuppie puppies in the media complexes in downtown atlanta..... |

Even at 3:30 things were pretty normal; gas $2.69. 9/11 was like this too. Always keep at least 1/3 tank; more if that gets used up in a day. My wife called me paranoid for having 25 stabilized gallons in nato gas cans in the shed. I'm strutting around the house now. |

Gas was 249 Monday here, 259 this morning and 269 this afternoon. I saw on another board the EPA has pulled the reformulated gas rules for now......no reformulated gas so stuff refined in one area can be trucked to another and sold there. I saw gas lines around here like you all are talking about back on 9-11 and 9-12. Rumors of gas in Texas being rationed to stations so some can be trucked east.
We bought 100 gallons of propane last week at $1.49 a gallon. Heating oil prices are expected to double in the coming weeks. There are also predictions of another rough winter across the US. Ugly times ahead I'm afraid.

My commute home from Newnan was the same story. Every gas station I passed either had a packed crowd waiting to fill up or signs saying they were out of gas. Lowest price I saw was 2.79 at one station. Average was about $3.05. One station I saw at 3.25 this morning was actually down to 3.09. That was weird. Must have gotten some complaints at the head office.
Saw one station in Atlanta on the news with $5.88 for regular and over $6 for premium.

The governor earned some respect from me in the method he chose to declare the state of emergency.
Typically price controls lead to shortages, especially when retailers are stuck selling it a certain price and are still getting overcharged by their suppliers. Clark Howard was just on the radio explaining that the gas price controls are not absolute - the stations can charge whatever they want so long as their profit margin is no higher than it was a week ago. I blame the Atlanta Journal Constitution for this mess. |

Weird. The mass hysteria, mob type reaction didn't start until after 1 or 2P. What happened?
We are a cowardly and fragile nation. Bush just might decide to go ahead and disarm us now. For the public good. Kim Jung and the terrorist couldn't pick a better time to strike than now. We would just lay down and beg for mercy and protection. |

Unfortunately, I was running on fumes this morning. I paid $4.39 for mid grade in Midtown (after waiting over an hour) and they had a twenty dollar limit. By the time I made it into the far side of Cobb County, I found another station that had it for $3.09 so I filled the rest of the way up.
This is insane. The house I'm buying it totally electric. At first, that freaked me out. Now? I'm very glad. |
