            I just bought gas in Houston for $2.19. No lines. Only abnormal thing was a sign that said only 87.

              I'm just north of Dickinson and I haven't had to wait in line. The only time I couldn't get gas it was cuz the gas station was closed
              A run on the pumps... Some CEO for QuikTrip or whoever said what they were selling in 2 hours was what they were selling in 2 normal days.

                Just got back from San Saba. Finding gas was not really a problem. Once or twice I had to buy premium but I was glad to do so under the circumstances. I had to pull my camper to the lease and we used a lot of gas. I think this shortage is going to be over in another couple of days.

                  In Weatherford the Big Pantries had gas and the Valero on fm730 and 180 had fuel.

                    Gasoline is being blended into tanks and pipelines as we speak. These people panicking need to chill.

                      But I guess I'm thinking just crank out any grade ! Gas stations here are ghost towns unless it has gas then it is mobbed
                      Lots of stations without gas today. The gas station I got gas at only had unleaded left. So that is weird.

                        I'm sure they never thought to test for the moron that would be transporting a trashcan of gas in the back of a truck....
                        I knew a guy that was pulling his brand new Ranger boat home from Flippin Arkansas that he had ordered and waiting several months for. His passenger threw a cigarette out the window and didnt think anything of it.. A few minutes later the driver looked into the rear view mirror and saw flames and smoke coming from the boat and when they pulled over to put the fire out - had to use the fire extinguisher and hose everything down, they found the cigarette wedged between the seats. Dang near burned his new boat down before ever putting in the water.

                          That's cause they are "saying" they are out of the cheap stuff and once the premiums are used up, they take the bags off the unleaded!!
