I really hate new gas cans.

Trump didn't change them back and for that reason he is a loser in my book.

Looks as if those two would benefit from parking the vehicle for awhile and do some walking

Across the board, media hasn't done anything to help calm this situation. They're all to blame for their part in stirring up the morons.

I filled 3 50 gallon drums with gas in Houston before driving back to Nola after Katrina. I paid $3.09 a gallon.
Come to nola and find cheaper gas. I was pissed.

Use a little common sense... I'm sure the cans on the sides are the ones not filled yet.

I may end up having to work from home if this keeps up.

Regardless of the cause of the shortage (in this case Colonial Pipeline coupled with over-reactions from the people), the shortage is real. It could last 8 hours or 3 days.

If you need gas to drive to work tomorrow, the cause of the shortage is immaterial (whether you believe in it or not). The fact is that half of the gas stations here don’t have gas, and the other half have long lines to get to the pump.

I am stuck in Raleigh NC driving back to SC from DC. Have 57 miles of range left and there is no gas anywhere. Dunno how long I will be stuck here.

Need 8 gallons of gas and would pay $200 for it in a heartbeat.


ETA wish I was driving a Tesla.

good luck. Not much of anything in Charlotte as of a few hours ago. Found somewhere with gas with the gas buddy app, but lines are long. I could spare a few gallons if you make it here. I didn’t want to be an a-hole and fill up the 3 gallon lawnmower can, so you would have to figure out how to siphon the gas.

Try the No-Spill gas cans. Top screws on & off simply. Then you press in the button on the spout to pour. No lock/unlock bs or using magic to get the gas to pour out like most other modern gas cans.

With the new cans, I take the whole spout off and just pour the gas with a big arse funnel.

My childhood religion teaches me to love all people, because God loves all people. Guess I fall short.

Most people suck. We, collectively, have made paradise a shite hole. A massive impact by a big arse asteroid, Deep Impact style, wouldn't be the worst thing.

Just look at the side of your average road.
