Gas shortages in your area?

[no2gates]

Haven't seen any shortages, but I tried to get on Gas Buddy.com to check. The site must be overwhelmed. Error code 503.

You misunderstood, that wasn't a 503 error, it was the estimated price of gas next week.

I hope it goes bad before he can use it.

No shortages but they took advantage of the situation and jumped the price 20 cents a gallon yesterday.

I've got gas something awful this morning.

Same - but that's because I made spicy chicken fajita for dinner last night

I know people that do that for legit reasons - like taking some back to the farm. We just don't know.

No shortage yet...

But they can create one, just by saying there will be a shortage........

No shortage here, but regular is now $2.89 a gallon. Up from $1.59 a gallon 5 months ago.

There was mention, a while back, of impending gas shortages due to lack of tanker drivers.

Yea, but my oil company stock is doing great.

Been a big need for CDL drivers for years. I read a thing last week, that Sisu Energy is paying upto $14,000 *a week* for owner operator hazmat drivers, and they still can't get enough truckers.

There's a truck driver shortage, so one Texas company is offering experienced drivers $14K a week

There's a truck driver shortage across the country

www.khou.com

$56,000 per month, or $672,000 per year potentially. Granted - that's owner-operator prices, so you have to figure in taxes, fuel, upkeep, and probably a truck payment - which probably drops your net to 1/2 to 2/3 that cost (figure if you're running a new truck, you're looking at $2-3k / month for the payment, plus you're going to be going thru tires/brakes and needing lubed regularly, and you're probably getting 7mpg on a good day...

I gave up my CDL years ago, and couldn't get financed to buy a new semi truck right now or this would be damn tempting, even if just for a short time.

If they can't get qualified drivers to run the tankers, we will certainly face shortages because the fuel will just be sitting in tanks at a distribution facility, instead of in the ground at the retail and commercial locations. If they have to pay stupid high prices for tanker drivers, we're going to fell it at the pump. Biden & Co's policies and attack on the oil industry surely helped sink the knife further - which I think is his plan. It makes his buddies richer, and benefits his foreign puppet masters to boot. Why be energy independent when we can make those who pay us off richer by importing their fuels?

No shortage here in the sticks, but gas prices went up, of course.

Colonial has supposedly started up operations as of 5pm Eastern Time. Hopefully that will ease some the panic they are experiencing on the East coast. Panic would have eventually spread and then there would have been another gas shortage nationally.

There are no shortages Period.

WTF talk about talk about a nice fireball in the making!

Up at the ranch I’m always setting on 50 gallons of 89 octane that’s treated, I run through it and refill it constantly. We’ve got 4 atv’s and 2 JD mowers going all the time plus string trimmers, chainsaws, and generators. I’ve also got a 250 gallon diesel tank for the tractor that I get filled when needed so I think I’m good for a while. At home in Houston I always keep at minimum 25 gallons for the lawnmower, generator and just plain stupid shit like this. The FRACKING SHEEP who can’t pull their heads up from their phones to see what’s coming deserve to get hit by the train. I learned a long time ago in the boy scouts Always beprepared, pay attention to not just your local news but read up on world events, listen to something other than the fox bs propaganda and think about what’s coming next.

[easy rider]
