Already spotty supply in parts of Austin.

I have to admit I took the family fleet & filled 'em/toppd 'em up/off on Day 1. Took all the gas cans too. Plastic, steel, a couple of plastic milk jugs too when they weren't lookin'. tee, hee.

Heard that. Ugh.

My long commute is a mixed blessing. Plenty of places to buy gas + large need to do so.

Full tank = four day supply.

[DisAsTerBot]

Just had to go to four different gas stations bitters and 281 area

[CosmicCowboy]

Had all my trucks fill up at 6 this morning.

[Pavlov]

It made talk radio here so expect runs and hoarding. I assume the undamaged refineries around Corpus could be up early next week, but we freaked out over bottled water last week, so....

[Xevious]

It's ed up out there. Lines down the road at every gas station that still has gas.

And most of these people on the road right now would gladly pay double for a tank of gas right now.

[Pavlov]

Hope the rescuers don't run out.

Where do you mean out there? Where are you seeing the big lines?

[Xevious]

Every station I've passed in the North Central/Stone Oak area

OK thanks.

[SpursforSix]

Filled up earlier and had to put in Premium because it was all they had. Stations running out of gas in the FW area.

starcrest/410

one generic gas station out, with price up from 1.95 to 2.29

the valero across 410 has gas but queue is into the street.

[Big Empty]

Well there wasn't a gas shortage. Now there will be

[RandomGuy]

bucees has gas

Yeah. I would guess stations like that have priority. Large enough to handle a rush.

[baseline bum]

Damn I paid $1.97 a gallon to fill up my tank last Thursday. Now it's up to $2.45 at that station and the lines are horrendous and spilling into the street.

So it sounds like there really is no shortage. People are freaking out and gas stations cannot refuel fast enough. And prices will skyrocket because of this.

Yup. The Valero and Tetco stations at Brook Hollow/281 are backing up traffic down the access road.

I've got half a tank in my vehicles. I'll probably wait for the rush to end and then figure things out. Wasn't planning to go out of town this weekend any way.

I'm sure NAMBLA will survive without you 1 weekend.

tee, hee.

Yeah, I wanted to pick up something at Valero, but when I saw the traffic jam, I just turned around.

That is what it seems like. I filled up yesterday, because I was unsure what would happen, or how stable supplies would be.

City and State officials all making comforting noises about there being no shortage.
