So, people are doing the dumb things we knew they would do:

I always intend to buy that at the end of mowing season but...

Do it this year

I've used the same mechanic for over 30 years. He taught me about ethanol. He also taught me to never let my car run near empty. The reason is condensation will form on the sides of the gas tank. It will cause water to run through your engine. You don't have to be a mechanic to know that isn't good. When your vehicle gets below half a tank, Gas up

Isnt that illegal, i know in texas it is. All gas has to be put in an approved receptacle such as a gas can.

This is Murika now. Freedom is more important than actual thought and reason.

Personally, I prefer to use a watering can as my alternative gas container so I don't need a funnel to avoid spillage.

And so it starts -- gas hoarding.

Does anyone ever think about the dangers of having so much gas lying around. Plus it is not like gas actually ever runs out, at least not for more than a period of a couple days and only under very dire circumstances

Styrofoam coolers are better.

We can only hope and pray that all of these Fuel hoarders die in a fiery oblivion of their own stupidity... and take their toilet paper and ammo hoarding kin with them.

Just be aware some of the idiot gas filling up photos are actually old pics. The one with the woman filling up plastic bags has been circulating for months, if not years. That goes for a lot of stuff posted on Twitter.

Not defending the dummies, but sometimes context is appropriate when seeing a pic.

TP hoarding isn't that bad. I have enough TP to last me 12 months. LOL

could be. I still have families members who farm for a living in Georgia. Their fuel is delivered straight to their farms

That would make sense, and if they missed a delivery, the farmer probably isn't gonna wait around. I imagine he'd make the trip to fill up like everyone else.

The reason is the equipment they use isn't street legal. You can't drive a tractor or a combine to the nearest gas store and fill them up
