shite is getting real. Will probably take a half day to go search for gas.


Read this thread and freaked out since the fuel light just came on this morning. Found it in the first gas station I tried. Granted it's up a good 40 cents per gallon since I last filled up.

I'm in line right now. Been in line almost an hour. Guy just came over and told me they are rationing to 10 gallons per car and they pump it themselves. I've got about 40 cars in front of me.


No rationing no line.

Go to the ghetto. Filling up there now.

This would be a good time to raise prices to stop people from hoarding but that's called "price gouging" or something.

Oh well.

Colonial Pipeline plans to shut down their major east coast gas pipeline today.

This is going to be annoying.

frick, I'm driving over from Natchitoches this weekend for Bedford Blues & BBQ Fest. Should I not go? Would suck to get over there and not be able to get gas to return.

Maybe people are buying gas to try and beat the price increase that every news program has been telling us about

I'll probably venture to Belt Line (YUCK). Still showing green there.

Anything north of the SRT and West of 75, is a free for all.

Edit: SRT not PGBT.

You don't have to go all the way out in Tyler. I can almost guarantee a gas station with bars on the window has gas since no one fills their trucks up completely, especially when it's 40 cents higher than it was 3 days ago.

I meant to fill up this morning, but the pump was really slow so I got like three gallons and left.

I fricked up.

Yes 571A exit has a gas station and knuckle check restaurant (sonic ) right off the interstate.

Just tried to get gas off 121 in Collin County, one station out and one had at least an hour wait. Drove home and going WFH, frick these panic people.

Mom in Collins, MS says tanker trucks are lined up down US49 to fill up and get gas here.

It is going to be OK DFW.

I imagine it's got to be 10x more annoying when some jerkoff parks at the pump and goes inside for what seems like forever to buy some damn shite.
