Don't panic: there is no gas shortage in Texas

Not sure if San Antonio is seeing this, but people in Austin are freaking out about a "gas crisis", causing gigantic lines at the pumps and leading to stations running out of gas.

There is no gas shortage. It's just a self-fulfilling prophecy being perpetuated by social media and word of mouth.

Go buy gas if your tank is near E, but don't go fill up your half-empty tank just to hoard it.

[baseline bum]

Same shit in San Antonio

[daslicer]

This shit is also happening in NC. Pretty damn frustrating considering there would be more than enough of gas if people weren't panicking and just filled their cars up at a normal rate instead of hoarding. Fuck the media for creating this mess.

[dabom]

I filled it up. I don't give a shit.

[dabom]

And old ladies skipping lines to put gas. That shit so funny. :lol

[dabom]

All the little gas stations are out. And they are price gouging. 3 dollars in some areas. The big gas stations can handle some of the strain.

[Will Hunting]

People in Dallas are freaking out too. Fucking retards.

[Xevious]

Yeah, hopefully this shit dies off in a couple days. We have no weekend plans, and have enough gas between our vehicles to get us through next week if need be.

[Xevious]

And there have been fights at the pumps over who's turn it is and shit. People are crazy. When shit hits the fan, it's every man for himself.

[baseline bum]

What are you all seeing it for? I just took my dog for a walk and saw it's $2.55 now. Man I paid $1.97 a gallon last week to fill the tank.

[Xevious]

Don't really remember... $2.40 or so.

I filled mine last night (got lucky that it was time to fill it right before people went crazy) for 2.30 in the uptown Dallas area which isn't bad at all.

[FkLA]

I thought about filling it up on my way home from work but saw the lines stretching out onto the street and was like nah I'm good. Fucking retards. :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

Fuck stupid people and fuck me for needing gas

[Spur|n|Austin]

People are pretty stupid.

It's crazy in Austin, every station is price gauging and lined down the block. We filled up on Tuesday in anticipation of this; funny thing is tomorrow or Saturday all will be back to normal. There is no shortage at all, in fact there is a surplus of gas.

[Pavlov]

Still lines of 15+ at both my neighborhood stations. $2.36 up from $2.06 when I filled up Sunday.

[jermaine]

Maaaaaan I was at Wal-Mart in a long ass line an as soon as I got 1 car back from the pump, they ran out!!! Then I had to call in to work cuz I had to find a gas station. This shit is soooooo fucking retarded. I was low on gas cuz I was running low an today was my payday. So I get gas every payday.

[jermaine]

Imagine if it was a food shortage! People would kill each other for sure.

I doubt you'd have much trouble finding a salad in town tbh

[Robz4000]

HEB gas stations will have gas tomorrow morning or so.

[dabom]

Only a couple of gas stations with gas. There was still a line in the one of the few with gas that i went to. Other cars I needed to put gas in. :lol

[Thread]

I feel like getting my duds on right this minute and driving up to the corner to make sure I could get gas if I needed it even though I don't.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

It was $2.39 at the valero in my town yesterday, up from $2.07 when I filled up last week

[Fabbs]

Gas / refinery shortage is all an act, a scam, by design.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boosting-big-oil-profits/

You can read the internal documents for yourself. Chevron, Texaco.

"Internal documents from some of America's biggest oil companies suggest higher prices at the pump may, in part, be a result of a deliberate strategy to limit domestic gasoline production..."

[Big Empty]

maybe someone should post that there is a job shortage so people could go get a job

[Xevious]

So who's been out yet? Are people still in full retard mode this morning as gas stations get fueled back up?

[Frank Dux]

[SnakeBoy]

No gas anywhere near me for 2 days now. I sure am glad there's no shortage, imagine what that would be like.

[Trainwreck2100]

got price gouged for $3.88 a gallon on thursday, seriously worried this shit won't balance out by next week. Have half a tank but that will only last till thursday, more idiots going to hoard the longer this shit goes on.

[baseline bum]

$3.88? Fucking hell.

[Trainwreck2100]

$3.88? Fucking hell.

yep, forgot to take a pic like an idiot but i'll still write the attorney general hoping somebody else did. I was on E though so I didn't have a choice

[IronMexican]

The white dude who threatened to slash her tires if she didn't move :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

holy shit, up to $2.79 where I live... better not drive til it goes back down

[DMC]

I think there's a difference between gouging during a shortage and raising the price because of mass hysteria raising the demand.

[SnakeBoy]

Ya'll still buying the there's no shortage it's just hoarders line.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Solution: Don't drive much, if at all, for another week or so until this dies down and the prices start to go back down. Walk/bike to Walmart or your nearest grocery store if you need food. If it's too hot, go in the evening after the heat of the day has passed.

[Axl Rose]

Pretty sad if gas going up 50 cents seriously affects your life imo

[Blake]

Pulled right up to gas pump at shell on starcrest/Jones malts. $2.59 a gallon for the 87 unleaded. No super in stock tho.

It shouldn't change anybody's life for an increase in a tank or two. But what do you think happens to everything else when fuel prices go up for extended periods of time? Retailers don't eat the increase in shipping costs, it gets passed on to the customer.

Never heard of her. And that address is about 10 minutes away from where I got gas.

I know you're big into donuts so I'm sorry I couldn't give you review

I can't bike and carry two bags of dog food, a sack of grapefruit, and a Monster.

That is close to where I used to live. You need to update your records if you are stalking me.

Throw out the dog food and you're good.

Yeah past week or so I've been paying about 3.10 for 87 in northridge area. Arco is cheaper but doesn't accept CC's which sucks. Gas is the easiest way to rack up points
