Fuel shortages (1 Viewer)

We drive for about 45 minutes outside of Tallahassee and nowhere had gas. At least 2 dozen stations.

We finally cut over to I-10 and found some, but I was getting worried.

gah, that reminded me of when we drive east 4-5 days after Katrina getting super nervous about not finding gas
we finally found a place in alabama and ran into maybe 3-4 new orleans friends there

On the bright side, i found a $5 bill on the ground this morning at the park on my run... So i immediately went and bought a Mega Millions ticket, and a Powerball ticket... When i win, all of you fools get a free tank of gas on me !

I suspect we'll never know if you really won.

We made the same comparison.

which is probably why he should buy our tanks of gas now, and we can repay of he doesn't win

I haven't bought toilet paper in a year. Still have about another 2 months supply. My wife went crazy with the TP last year right before that whole mess hit. I don't know how she knew, but she knew. Weird.

There was a big sale on TP at Costco last year around late Jan/early Feb and I stocked up like I normally would with no knowledge of how the world would be in a month or two. If society would have collapsed and TP became the main currency, I would have had it made. A good friend of mine was in scarce shape and running out during the worst of the shortage. I had him meet me on Loyola Dr so I could give him some rolls before I hit 310 to head south from BR. Crazy world that was a year ago.

As far as gas goes, Costco is usually a PitA during the best of times. I have to fill up this evening to pick people up at KMSY tomorrow morning and I'm not even going to attempt it.

I legitimately need to fill up my canister for the lawn mower, but I don't want people to think I'm one of "those" people.

Look at this way, Russian hackers are saving the planet from climate change, one pipeline at a time.

Hah, same. I actually have a can with like 2 gallons in it, but it's been sitting for months, so I'm afraid to use it. I'm not even gonna mess with it. But I might have to go fill up the car soon, so idk how that's gonna go. We'll see.

Oh you most definitely will know.. Becuase if you think i post a lot now- when i hit the lotto, I’ll have even more free time... also I screenshotted who was ‘viewing the thread’ when i posted so i know who gets free gas


I was born on a Friday, but i wasnt born *last* Friday !

A good piece of advice I received years ago. Before you put the lawn mower up for the winter,run it out of gas. If you have extra gas in a can, add a fuel stabilizer. It will be good the following season. The best places to find these is at auto parts stores

North Carolina and now Virginia have declared a state of emergency. BDM

CNBC reported that 7% of VA gas stations were dry.

People are traveling now. Plain and simple. No hack needed

Coming this summer: Gas stations running out of gas | CNN Business

Millions of people stuck at home for more than a year are expected to hit the road for much-needed post-pandemic vacations this summer. Good luck finding gas.
