My kid sister in Atlanta called me 5/11 after work panicked that she could not find gas, and she had been in line to get gas when the station ran out literally one car ahead of her. I immediately filled up my gas tank, ran to walmart, and bought two 2.5 gallon cans. (everything bigger was sold out.) Then filled those. My mom found gas after going to five different stations.

Gasbuddy says a lot of gas stations in major SE USA cities have no gas.

I live in Florida. We don't even get our gas through the pipeline but rather all from tanker trucks and the gas station down the street is now charging $5.99 a gallon with a five gallon limit.

I'm in North Carolina about 70% of the state is without gas right now. Thank god I drove a 4 cylinder car and work is only a mile away

dangerDoge · Answer

I have a full tank currently, and I often have very little reason to go out somewhere, so I haven't experienced any issues. My work is remote, I live right next to a grocery store, and I even have plenty of other food places & entertainment (*cough* guitar center *uncough*) right by, so I should be good for a long while. I can't say I'm worried.

Nope, I saw that coming… Q warned about it all the way back on 17-Jul-2020. Klaus Schwab the Bond Villian of Davos was toss out veiled threats that the commie World Economic Forum was going to do it months ago as part of their Great Reset/Build Back Better strat. No shits given, already ahead of the game...

It’s affecting peoples emotions, patience moods also. Near where I live a lady tried to cut in line of people waiting for gas. Since no one would let her in so she decided to push her way in. She hit a suv in the front end, then she gets out of her car and goes up to the suv and spit in the drivers face. He gets out of the the suv and hits her then the fight start. Weird both were arrested.

I'm in eastern pa its not effecting us yet however they media outlets already getting people worked up like they did with the tp shortage not to long ago. I have seen people already taking gas cans to pumps to fill up as many as they have. the media is the real problem getting the easily influenced acting crazier then they normally are.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

Apparently 60% of gas stations in Atlanta are out of gas. I am affected professionally, I guess, because we still need to fill up the cruisers every day, but I personally am able to walk to work and don't drive much outside of work.

MzAsh · Answer

Yeah there’s no none in my county right now. I still have half a tank so I should be good for a little while.

Laciandmaci · Answer

BobbyC65 · Answer

I work at Kroger's fuel station in the Lawrenceville GA. on the corner of Duluth 120 and Riverside and the customers are showing their true colors on how gritty and selfish they can be and there being stupid about The Georgia resident-only know how to do one thing and that's panic.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

They will eventually affect all of us. Gas is going to have to be transported from another location. Snowball effect from there. This is all don’t buy design though. Notice how all these major things happen at once. Gas shortage, Bombing to Israel, food prices up 4.2% last month ALONE!

MeghanL · Answer

Our locale is not served by the Colonial pipeline, so we aren't experiencing shortages here. Of course gasoline is a volatile-priced commodity, & the news is causing pump prices to climb.

OliviaOfTheScots · Answer

Was a queue this morning but otherwise nothing much yet

Anon621 · Answer

The gas shortages are not affecting me personally thankfully.

Mofunfour20 · Answer

It affects us all because it speaks volumes about the vulnerabilities of our resource infrastructure. If they hack gasoline. They might hack electricity next. Terrorism and chaos is inevitable because people will always find a way to take advantage of vulnerabilities. Old fashion may be slow but everything has its pros and cons

jgokgotit · Answer

I'm a Lyft driver currently (lost my job at the jail for a dumb reason). Gas is vital to my job and has been tough to come by. Yesterday I saw a man fill his truck and put gas in 3 containers. When he was not looking I took a canister, put it in my tank and put it back. It was funny watching the dumbass pick up the can he just filled and not even question why it was empty. He simply refilled it again. Greedy bastard.

exitseven · Answer

NO, I live in the northeast and my wife gassed up yesterday and she said that even though the prices have gone up another nickle there were no crowds.

pervertedjester · Answer

The drug towns close to me are out of gas cause the Meth-heads freaked out. I assume they think they can re-sell it for more Meth, but who really knows. (They're probably huffing it) As for my town, no one comes here and our gas station isn't on the main road so, so far so good.

Bellatris · Answer

They're not, because I live in Australia, a country that more than half of you Yanks would sneer at because you think it's "socialist". Well, :P to you! Socialism works! :)

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Lucky I filled up my tank yesterday because when I went out today the gas stations by my house had bags over the pumps. I thought a hurricane was coming.

Anonymous · Answer

This is why price gouging laws don’t work. If you are going to run out of supply and not have any available supply for an indeterminate time period, why can’t you just raise your price to keep hoarding down? If it’s $5.00 per gallon, I would not have topped off both of my cars and gas can yesterday and many others would have just waited as well. But gas was only $2.89 and now there’s none left. So how do price gouging laws actually help?

Apple1996 · Answer

It did panic me a little bit since we seriously needed gas in one of our cars but luckily we live on a military base and they stole 5 gas trucks from civilians so we could have gas. I got it last night and only had to wait in a small line.

Is it true, its just a setup to get people ready for going electric? Strange since america has billions of gallons of gas in reserve they dont release. Maybe the people who hacked into system work for the democrats.. ?
