CousinsCowgirl84 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 On my ride home today 4 stations were 100 percent out of gas and the rest of them (around 8 ) has lines around the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, but I also think you're probably giving the people in that photo a bit too much credit for strategic planning acumen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You telling me those people didn’t do the math, making sure to account for inflation, cost of storage and fuel stabilizer???

True story. I wondered where that came from. I was subjected to numerous rumors at a doctor's waiting room this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, of course, replete with the belief that the CIA and FBI were actually the ones who did it. For some reason. Apparently they did it to...help...Biden? I have no clue...something something DEEEEP STATE! Schizophrenic word salads make far more sense than those yokels. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I know we’re joking about it it there will be people who say screw it and just use this as the excuse to pull the trigger and snag a new electric car (if you can find them, lots of shortages right now) im genuinely curious what that number looks like Edited May 11, 2021 by tshile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Gas crossed $2 a gallon in the middle states in 2001. It hasn’t come close to doubling in 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 There’s one gas station near me that has gas and the lines are significant. So any word on why the pipelines IT set up was so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame people hoarding gas when they don't need to, not IT folks who usually lack budget and support from upper mgmt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Also - super annoying - when people you know that live in another county, and have no reason to be in your town unless they’re coming to see you, start texting you to let you know your town is out of gas I mean... I literally do not have to drive anywhere for any reason, and you’re driving all over the state looking for gas, and not finding it, in a gas shortage Glad when you drove all over your county and couldn’t find any, your next move was to go **** things up in another county. this and the covid response are why people suck.

China Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's spreading. I just went to run an errand and noticed lines at one of the gas stations near me. The gas station across the street from that one was closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
