How’s the gas holding out in your neck of the woods?

No problems at all here in the DFW burbs.

I will say that I finally ordered a 4,000watt generator today. After our ice storm a few months ago, I realized that I was an idiot for not having a generator on hand. Well I put that off and here we are today, again realizing that I need a generator. There was literally one combo generator (gas/propane) available for pickup around my area so I had to order one delivered. Fingers crossed it gets here before the SHTF.

Sold out at the 3 stations nearest me above Greenville.
This morning I half jokingly told my 2 bosses to fill up and they laughed and said if everyone stays calm it won’t run out.

we are a fledgling business

On & off. A run yesterday put several stations out. By mid day today they were all back online. By 5 though people were lining up again.

A few stations are out in my small SC town. My girlfriend's brother couldn't find gas anywhere in Sumter, a few hours ago. I have a full tank, a few cans, and a boat full of 60 gallons and a cyphon if I need it.🤞🏽

Gas was out last morning and night the places I look in Cobb County, Georgia.

However, I hit jackpot this morning in Bartow County at the Love's Travel Stop. MAGA!!

Gas seems to be more available in Georgia in the exburban to rural areas as you would expect.

Suburban areas seem to be run dry.

What is your guess on 85 and 285? Traveling to Gainsville Friday - Sunday for baseball

If the problem has not been fixed with the pipeline, I would say that those areas would be run dry.

You could probably get gas further out maybe in very northern Gwinnett County or Hall County.

The pipeline being down is stressing the system.

Yesterday morning my local station had gas, with no limit. This morning, they limit you to $25 worth of gas. News says some stations in nearest town are out now. I assume if the pipeline doesn't open soon, we are fucked in another couple of days.

Thinking of cutting through rural AL instead of 65/85/285. Less people means more gas, higher prices. I will pay to keep moving.

At the beach we are basically out. Dumbasses freaked out.

Well, considering Roy Fucking Cooper told us not to worry, you can guarantee that anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to this asshat knows that it is indeed time to worry.

N Florida kinda spotty. Just now seeing some panic buying and pumps closed.

I saw a guy top off his Tundra, Suburban, and 25 gallons worth of red cans this morning. What a jackass.

Oh wait, that was me !!! #donthatemygas

Maybe he needs gas for his business? I don't begrudge anyone stocking up on supplies- I am pissed off at the people who limit supplies or won't do anything to help the supply chain.

ETA- I see now that was you. I still don't care- people should be able to buy whatever they want and can afford.

One of my buddies had to drive to Kennesaw from Midtown yesterday to fill up. Saw a fight at the Quik Trip up there. Apparently one dude brought a ton of 20 gallon tanks and was filling them up. Dude got out of truck behind him and they started brawling.

Damn, I have never had to whip someone's ass at the QT.

Wachovia, yes, but not QT.

I am in Nashville and places were running out last night. I topped off and filled up a 5 gallon tank for emergency. Is the pipeline even back up and running ?

I call bull shit on all of it

I was almost kidnapped at the blue crab festival.

Glad you weren't. Story?

Also, how is the festival? I mean, besides the rampant attempted kidnappings, of course...I have never been. I figure good weather, booze, seafood & music, it would have to be a good time.

We went a few years ago and left after a while the crowed was so large. Me and wife aren't big on large crowds and tourist. You'll have a good time.
Some guy just came by and picked me up and started walking off, and mom chased him down. I was like 4 so don't remember any of it.

F'ing 38 gallon tank Tundra. I may go out here and light that sumbitch on fire. I have an electric golf cart that can probably get me a little ways before I have to walk.

How does one procure such a map for travel. Downloaded gas buddy which has no gas alerts.

You can look at Gas Buddy online and it will tell you which stations have some juice. Not sure how updated it is though
