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?
lol... I knew about them since the 6th. Wapo just finally came around to reporting it and people panicked. I gassed everything up Saturday, I had the gas station to myself.
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.
@playfootball13 it's not like I personally stole the gas trucks 😂 and it's not like we have much of a choice. People here have to go to work and get things done
Gas shortages are effecting us some, but mostly because people are worried about a gas shortage, so many more people than usual, were filling up today.

Not really I live on the west and I bike and take the train.
We were already enemies with Russia as proven by their attempt to meddle in our elections and Trump was the worst tin pot dictator wannabe in US history, is a traitor and belongs in prison.

Not by me but my brother is getting affected in Georgia and Florid. I am in New York
I hope things get better for him
It took them a while to find gas and then he filled up to 5 gallon containers just in case
We saw a huge lines today at the gas station like three hour Waiting list in Miami Florida USA
Oh wow
People are panicking

No problems in the Midwest. What's Biden doing about it?
Hopefully you’ll remain with none
Things will get fixed soon enough.
Hmm, kinda cool if I had a tesla rn... but no. I did notice the gas prices going up little by little everyday. I'm in the northwest.
Yes most places in my state are without gas currently. I am not worried as most places I go are within walking distance.

That’s nice
No problem in new York. I really hope we don't have any shortage. I fill up my work truck every 3 days. I guess I should have kept my cng gas truck.
Not at This Time but I do Ned gas by Early next week. This just makes Biden look more dementia ridden is all.
How so? He wasn't the person who hacked the pipe line.
@Leavesbound Um, He made Enemies with Russia and they Got HIM. Never had a Problem with Uncle Donald. xx

Me and my roomate biking to the store
Nope doesn’t affect me really.
I'm glad that's the case
The price has gone way up here in the West US, however I don't know of any shortages out this way.
Nope.. and I was still able to get a full tank for $20.00
Really? Must be because most muricans have giant pickup trucks or suvs lol
Nope. not really. Just filled up our 200 gallon tank in the shed sitting on a concreat drip form.
