I filled up the Tundra (38 gal) and the Land Cruiser (22 gal) with regular, then my boat and two jerry cans with 90 octane ethanol-free "recreation" gas. Heard it on WSB while driving home this evening.

Anyone who didn't heed this advice is likely feeling it today.
I topped off cars, boat, ATV's, Generators, and Gas Cans once I saw the pipeline was hit. Drove to airport this a.m. and more gas stations were out of fuel than not, the handful that weren't had LOOOONG lines. |

In and around Hwy 41 Marietta up through Cobb is a disaster.....Only 2 stations had gas and the lines were insane.
Diesel appears to be in decent supply. |

You guys are all crazy. Press secretary says there’s nothing to worry about, media isn’t covering it. I mean if we were out of gas the media would let us know.
BTW #1 is awesome, never realized it was so easy to conserve gas if you just don’t put any in your tank.  Attached File |

We've got enough gas for our truck and car, but not enough for our mower.

I filled up on the way home from work. West Cobb/east Paulding has almost no gas. I appreciate the station that raised the price in one day from $2.58 to $3.44 a gallon. He still has gas. The state taking off the gas tax has not made a difference. I saw a couple of stations got gas overnight .

Quite a few stations out in rural NE GA got deliveries in yesterday, things didn't seem as bad but no telling how long that will hold.

I'm between Acworth and Dallas and pickins' were sparse over here yesterday. I saw a tanker truck at the neighborhood gas station off the beaten path that I usually go to and the retards were swarming that station creating a mess in the roadway. I'm staying home the rest of the week with the exception of going to the liquor store on Friday. Fuck all this madness. I want one fucking month where something isn't going off the rails, it is seriously starting to wear on me. I swear this country is fucked due to all the sheep out there.

I'm in the south Cherokee county area.
Any gas that is available is swamped with crowds filling up jerry cans and plastic totes. Had a bike trip planned for western NC this weekend that looks to be put on hold. Perhaps the crazy will subside by Saturday/Sunday. FWIW - I would really like to have a small window without crisis, but I think we are just entering into the real madness. Not sure we will see relief until next spring or summer. |

It'll probably take until the end of the month for everything to get totally sorted out.
In a prior life I dispatched fuel trucks for a year. Most of the newer (built in past 10-15 years) stations have regular unleaded underground tanks that hold ~30,000 gallons. The Larger stations (costco, sams, QT/RT with 30 pumps) usually have two of the 30k tanks manifolded together for 60k. Smaller corner stations might only be able to hold 8-10k gallons. A fuel tanker can hold ~8500 gallons regular unleaded, 7500gallons diesel. So if just one station is completely empty with their 30k gal tanks it would take ~ 3.5-4 loads just to get them full. The super stations would take 7 loads. And that is just for one station. Average driver can run 4-5 loads per 12hr shift, more if the station is closer to the terminal. But there are sure to be long lines for the delivery drivers at the terminal as well. So while the panic will subside, it won't be uncommon to see select outages for the next 2-4 weeks. |

Now that the Russians see how fast they can cause mayhem with their cyber attacks it's going to bust open if these companies don't start spending bigger bucks on cyber security. Every USA hating nation out there is going to up their electronic attack game because it just became painfully obvious the people in charge of our private sector infrastructure are not prepared.

Pretty obvious to us but inside those industries the focus is profit until they get hit like this. I'm kind of surprised someone hasnt proposed legislation about specific minimum standards on infrastructure cyber security, what with how they love to add laws to the books. Maybe there is some and I'm just ingorant. |

I was told about all this Friday the 7th at about 7:30PM. My boss at work his brother works for Colonial. Bother Called him and told him get gas now pipeline is going down and IT is on the way in and someone has called DHS and doesn't expect them to know much more than they know. We all left work and FILLED up. I got home and filled the wife's car up and tow of the extra 5 gallon cans.
Idiot at the station said "you cutting grass now". I laughed and said "Get gas when you get off work." I don't hate the guy he just "WONT SHUT THE FUCK UP".. ANYWAY. Sunday He was all "dude I should have listed." These idiots at Colonial should have had the ENTIRE FUCKING LINE that they FUCKING own STRUNG FOR FIBER!!!! AND had it all controlled from a single site that people had to go into to work at a desk with a computer. NOT losers home computer can log into company infrastructure and control it. FUCK THESE COMPANIES!!!!! THE grid will go down not because of EMP not because of MicroNova BUT Russian hackers wanting money OR Chinese saying we will just Stick the tip in and then GO BALLS DEEP!!!! |

So, the pipeline proper is owned by several oil companies (Koch, Royal Dutch Shell, a South Korean company and others), but is operated by Colonial Pipeline Company which is HQ’d in Alpharetta. It was Colonial Pipeline Company (the operator, not the owner) that was hacked. $5M is less than a speeding ticket to the folks that OWN the pipeline. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It all boils down to a simple cost-benefit analysis. Yes, well we found out that $5 million is the price of Colonial's lack of interest in securing their pipeline infrastructure. We also found out that the pipeline could have run the entire time and this was all over the inability to bill customers with their computer system vs picking up a pen and doing it the old fashioned way. |
