I bought 20 gallons of diesel today in cans. Some dumbass said “you don’t need to hoard gas, it will be ok”. I said thanks but my backhoe isn’t going to start if I don’t put fuel in it.People are so stupid. It’s amazing, actually. I really wish there was a way to publicly shame the hoarders.
They still have to get the fuel from terminal to the gas station and with truck driver shortages, who knows. All I know is, this is Biden's watch.
Yeah, the craziness has run stations dry. Both Weigels near me are out, and Ingles had probably 30 cars at the pumps around 9:30 p.m., when it's usually a ghost town.
I drove by Costco, too, and there was a tanker filling them up. $2.79/gal+ where it's available. Supply and demand, baby!Supply has just been pulled ahead, people arent going to consume more gas, it was just cycled out abnormally. The tankers that fill up those places arent going to have trouble getting access to more gas.
So The South would loose another Civil War because we don't have the infrastructure. Figures.More than 1,000 gas stations in the Southeast are now running out of fuel, according to S&P's Oil Price Information Service.
The Southeast is particularly vulnerable because it has fewer refineries and pipelines to deliver fuel, compared to the Northeast, which is less at risk. The Southeast is also less equipped to quickly import large quantities of gasoline from other countries, according to The Wall Street Journal.
