I’m prepped  . But diesel here has been $3.25-3.50 since Biden took office. It’s up around $.80 since Jan 1 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tCv3mqY1/4-D85-DF6-B-67-B9-4-C55-B630-5788680-B4-DB7.jpg)

I live near Marshall NC. I just drove in to town at 9:30 pm to tank up. The Exxon is out of gas! The gal told me that, the big Ingles grocery store station across the street at 6pm had a 2 hour wait for gas. And the Ingles is now out.
She told me that Exxon will get a shipment of gas in tomorrow morning at 5am, but by 6 am it will all be gone. Were they out of just the cheap stuff? Supreme gone ? E-85 Flex gone too?

If its that easy then most/all infrastructure is at risk. This country is less than two weeks away from anarchy at any time. You ain't wrong.

You’d think Bubba could just walk out there and turn a valve on a pipeline, but what do I know?

Hey, it's all due to supply and demand, hurricanes in the gulf, the Chinese, and seasonal changeover.

I drove from upstate NY to Cape Cod today. Plenty of gas but it's $3.00 a gallon for regular. I would dearly love to see $3/gal gasoline again. That went out the window very shortly after Biden moved into the Whitehouse. $120 to fill the tank w/ 36 gallons on the 95 Chevy p/up with 90% 87 octane a couple days ago.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Biden equity. If one person can't afford gas, no one gets gas.
My brother drove across the US to see my nephew the marine in Maryland. Betcha he's puckered up right now... Ha!

If its that easy then most/all infrastructure is at risk. This country is less than two weeks away from anarchy at any time. Just finished reading a book titled Brave New War by John Robb. Came out in 2006 and therefore is heavily oriented toward the Iraq war. His main thesis is that small forces can and do target infrastructure and by so doing are able to defeat conventional armies as well as prevent them from winning the "hearts and minds" of the everyday citizens. Highly recommend it, although he gets a bit obtuse near the end. I would say that if it ever gets to the point of civil war in this country, these are some of the tactics that will have to be employed.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

I wrote the OP. I just drove in to town to go to the grocery store. No gas at Ingles, no gas at Exxon. Exxon thought they would get a delivery at 5am today but they didn't get it. They don't know when they will get any gas.

$2.69 Potsy you are over the mountains there on I 40. Are you near Knoxville? I believe that you are on a different supply line from us here in the mountains near Asheville. Our gasoline comes in the Colonial pipeline up from Atlanta and through Spartanburg SC, they pump it in to huge storage tanks there in Spartanburg, and then tanker trucks bring it up the mountain to Asheville and Marshall. I think your gasoline comes in from another pipeline, maybe over in the Memphis or Nashville area. Are some of the gas stations in your area closed down? Just where on I 40 did you pull into the Speedway?

And so it begins - a glitch in one area turned into a national shortage (and accompanying price hike) due to panic.

Filled up in Denver this morning. 2.85.
I hope this doesn't mean another run on toilet paper too.

I'm well-known for the inability to grasp the gravity of any given situation.
