Gas shortages/gouging

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.

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.

I`m going out today to search for some gas in my truck tank (and gas cans) just in case the girl I`m dating (from Austin) needs some gas this weekend,,oh the things we do for women! haha such a knight in combustible armor
 
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.

It is true though. Everyone filling up all their cars and gas cans causes an abnormal spike in demand. Which is happening at the same time that the supply is reduced. If everyone could just find a way to keep their normal gas purchasing pattern it would not be as bad. We definitely make it worse. Of course if your car is empty, then you have no choice.
 
So my plan to get cheaper gas in Maryland backfired, it was the same price as in Pennsylvania. In the 3 hours I was gone it went up another $.10/gallon in town here. Sheesh!
 
Gas gone up 2 times each day for 2 days now. Waiting for the next price hike. Now at between 2,60 to 2,79 per gallon
