Gas shortages/gouging

[trashmanssd]

All the way up in the north east here and our bulk delivery price for diesel is up 16 cents from last week.

They went up here 25 cents.....Free enterprise at play.

i paid 2.89 for 93 earlier

I`m so glad I work from home

You lucky devil, me and a coworker got back into town yesterday afternoon and the local place had 93 for $3.29, which is unfortunately what I run in the GTI. Luckily I live close to Maryland, and most times they`re $.30 cheaper/gal. Needed and excuse to go to the dealer to pick up some parts, lol. I can run 87, but the butt dyno says the car`s happier on 93.

Was able to finally get some gas this morning at a local place. No 87, 89 Octane was $2.79 but I was happy that the tank now reads full vs 1/8. Also refilled my 2gal mower can (emergency supply).

Hondo, Tx is out of gas, all the service stations have bags on the pumps, we use roughly 5,500 gallons a day of diesel at work and none of our bulk suppliers could get us fuel. 52 trucks parked for the day and another 23 that only have enough fuel to work 1/2 day.

Sorry to hear that, DieselWrench. We still have some pumps open still here in CS, so there`s hope. At least it`s a Friday at the start of a long weekend.

Here in North Dallas, Plano/Richardson, yesterday was mass hysteria. Lines of people around Costco`s, Sam`s Clubs, and other big stations. The short term supply has runout, but longer term supply will be coming from different areas like Oklahoma and West Texas/ New Mexico. I will admit that I did top off and fill up multiple gas cans, but I do have a use for it this weekend. If any of you guys remember the hysteria of the 1970`s Oil Crisis, that`s what Dallas- Fort Worth gas stations looked like. Haha. It was ridiculous, but understandable. I just wish that I could have a HET M1070 to use for rescuing/ fuel trailer pulling, talk about making some extra dough from the gas companies. Fording depth for the HET is five feet with the high water kit..... One day.

haha I`ll see what I can do

Well she just called me in excitement as she found gas...and even said she didn`t fill up because she wanted to save some for other people. What a novel idea.
