We will be out in 1 more hour. Elon refinery in Big Springs broke. Can you believe that? Coast refinerys are down so ours goes down. Supposedly on line soon. They are awaiting a part. Now, if you had a refinery that could go down from one broken part.....
...I'd have two on hand. Power grid is even more vulnerable. Some of the transformers take months to build, and there are no spares for them.

Tornado's are popping up around us now from Harvey. Don't you live next to a river? Did you get a bunch of rain? Rain here don't matter much.

Colonial Pipeline, which serves the East Coast is now shut down. NC has already declared a state of emergency.  I doubt a .20 increase is considered gouging. Especially, if that's a statewide increase.

It would be telling to see who cusses and curses the oil industry, and who hopes they recover quickly.
Within about a week or two I think we'll see just how important Texas and that coastal area really are to the well being of a nation.

You won't ever hear me cuss oil.
Unless it gets in the river/creeks then I'd be pissed...
But pretty much every thing we do requires fuel.

Trump is donating a million of his personal cash, to help flood victims.
(Don't know why that link didn't work. Phone access here is very jumpy as well) That proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt President Trump is a Racist Sarcasm intended I wanted to be the first 1 to say it.

I just got back from running errands in town. One of those errands was picking up fuel for my tractor and UTV and the lawn mowers.
It was a non-stop stream of vehicles, filling up vehicle tanks and filling cans, both gas and diesel.
At my usual rate, I'm good for a month or so on the equipment.

there is no shortage, tx has over 200 million barrels of gas not crude in reserve, the problem is people panicking and buying it up faster than it can be trucked in.

Idiots here are in a full blown panic buying mode. 7/11 and Allsups here raised their prices this afternoon to .30 to .40 cents per gallon higher! Every station here is lined up at evry pump by at least 7 or 8 cars per pump. Even already had idiots during it out at our local HEB gas pumps. IDIOTS

Power grid is even more vulnerable. Some of the transformers take months to build, and there are no spares for them. [/quote]
At my work we coat paper for use in transformers. We got a big boost in orders this week.
Sadly ironic, but we benefit from these things. Many actually do.
It is always a topic at work, at these times, and it makes most of us feel kind of guilty.

Well that's why I asked cause I'm heading to the central part of NM tomorrow. About 600 miles or so one way. One station out here got a load and they were lined up down the street. Think I'll try the trip anyway. Gas in Post ( hope) then on west.

I headed for the range this AM and gassed up as normal as ever being at 1/4 tank. On my return home I thought, "[bleep] is school getting out early" as Bulverde was fully choked. I headed down 41 towards my house and hit 3351 to find another zoo at the Valero there. Once home and on the news, well yep.

At one of the stripes in town(the largest)they had all but 3 pumps go down around 4 or so.
With the refineries down south out of action and the one in Big Spring down they have started a stampede at the pumps.
At 6 o'clock when i was in town all of the stations have long lines around the pump islands.
Sometimes folks are stupid.

WTF do people in SA and Dallas need to run fill up everything, including the thermos for? It's a good thing they don't give an IQ test for oxygen consumption.

So we need a full tank to start, then another in Sweetwater or Post, maybe another in Roswell. That's the reason people are wanting full tanks to start a trip.

I'm impressed with how well the refineries handled the storm, a big kudos to them. 👍 I sure hope they get online soon and I'm sure they do too.
Btw...I paid 2.66 today up .10c from last week but we have incredibly high gas taxes so that skews the number.
