Drove part way across town today on an errand.

Passed like ten gas stations all out of gas. I still have half a tank and don’t need to be anywhere.

It could start to get ugly out there.

Thank you Joe Biden.

Jumped 10 more cents a gallon here.

Forty cents higher since Biden "took over".

Yes.

It seems weird being near some of the world's biggest oil reserves and refineries.
Transportation means everything.

....and now they’re asking us to boil our water

no........it's all Trump's fault

we know that

$2.20 here in the Podunk area

reg 85 oct

$4 gas by Christmas, maybe sooner.

Rough go all the way around

just move to Utah.......

power's on......gas is cheap.....mittens lives here

we get snow.......but have snow plows

deer in the field every day for the freezer

Yep. Some out oof gas

sooner.....Memorial Day $4 a gallon ++

thx joe & cameltoe

I am green with envy! 🤢 you are a lucky man.

1/2 tank my ass.

I bet the fuel in that tank couldn't fill dixie cup.

LOL

+ .50 here!

Florida Man,

you're thinking of your Ruckus!

Sycamore

Yep, and you won't be able to vote these policies away. After the deep state saw that nothing was done about the steal, elections are, from this point onward, 100% fake.

$2.25 at Walmart last night. That's up .25 from it's lowest this winter. We just got back Sunday from a tour of WA and OR. Right here's the cheapest gas we saw in all 3 states. We saw some for $3 along the way. In the Portland/Vancouver area, many stations are in the 2.80 to 2.90 range.

Sycamore,

You're a f a g.

Saw on the local evening news that hospitals in Shreveport are without water and probably won’t have it for 48 hours. Bottled water being brought in.

Saw $2.25 last Saturday at the Red Mesa trading post. Cheapest gas I saw on the Rez. $2.28 at Mexican Water . Both Sinclair Stations, pretty good gas.

I'm sure FEMA arrived weeks ago.

you're the one with a Ruckus, living in a city, in florida.

Heh.

Guessing FEMA may be a bit stretched about now.

The price of gas going up like Europe will transition to public/ busses and electric .
It was promoted for 15+ years as the model of the future.
Even the commies working in the VA were pushing for acceptance along with eugenics of the old.

Nother week of this and we’ll all be dead.

Well,,,,,Biden did predict dark days ahead.

Mot sure, but if the original poster is like me, the freeze had a lot to do with the gas shortages -along with power outages and a few other problems it caused. South Texas doesm't have much weather like this!

Mike Holmes

FEMA!

FEMA!

Where's FEMA????

Joe Biden won't send FEMA!!!!

WTI is pushing $62/barrel. It was $51 when Bidet took office. Less than a month, anybody want to guess when it hits $100?

Lord willing.

But you're a f a g.

And always will be.

Only if BLM, Muzzys, illegal Immigrants and ANTIFA are suffering.

FEMA!

Texas is dying!!

FEMA!

Where is FEMA!?!?!?!

only the folks that cook and heat with charcoal grills inside the house.

Truth. And a fughking liar.

Same here, 40 cents higher.

a true christian is heard from!

So, none will die of hypothermia? Well, good to know.

was wondering the same thing

hasn't sleepy joe sent the NG to Texas yet ????????

what a fuggin loser

Right next to the gasoline run generator in the living room.

Surprisingly I’ve not read about any lately. Maybe folks learned after the hurricanes.

Poor bastids all over the south are spending the night in cars running their heaters and depleting the gasoline.

I keep 25-30 gals on the shop at all time, tractor stays full and keep diesel cans full too. Even have a a little bit of Kero

Filled up all the cars and trucks before this stuff rolled in.

That’s easy planning.


I fill all my cars even when Texas or the coastal states have a hurricane threat, a week out.

and polluting the air

Ha, YGBSM, Texas went for a real POTUS.

Remember when the Davis Mts and cattle ranches in West Texas were burning from millions of acres of wildfires? Military aircraft were not allowed to help dump fire retardant for the same reason.

NO GAS!!!

FEMA!!

Where is FEMA!

People are dying!

FEMA!

just call joe & cameltoe

Nothing stopping the Governor from activating the NG.

Whoa. The truth, finally, though told by accident.

They are going to fix the wind turbines to run without much wind? Or make the sun shine on the solar panels?

I remember the first time I was in Texas. The motto was "Drive 90 and freeze a yankee" Look who's laughing now !!

kwg

article.......

what Utah does

https://www.ksl.com/article/5010917...-blackouts-during-extreme-weather-events

Gotta space heater that runs on primers and.22 LR.😛

Fuel trucks up and down the interstates to help those stranded. Food and supplies to emergency centers. Water deliveries where systems are failing.

Or just do nothing and wait on Uncle Sam.

lol

Also got a 29 ft jayco with propane topped off and 30 amp generator.

only in TN

Road Trip!

bring UR own beer

That’s a relief, lots of us in Texas were worried.

Left will turn TX blue one way or other.

LOL

....and Mormons! Lots and lots of Mormons....







....but seriously , my nephew took a job out there and loves it 😎

For what?

Them couple rounds of stimulus money last few months would’ve bought a decent small generator and a kerosene heater.

I’m sure last time my power my power was out for 11 days, them folks were smokin 20s and drinkin 40s


Same type folks could see Katrina coming for 8,9,10 days out and were too busy waxing their 75 monte carlos with Daytonas on it to give a fouck till it was on top of them. Then FEMA dollars bails their no planning asses out?

You really are a dumb bitch.

and the prob is..........?

our power is on !!

But I ain’t a Fuggin drunkard.

That’s probl’ly it, and icing conditions on the road all over Texas, and the bridges and overpass ramps closed, not worth sending the tanker trucks out.

The boil your water thing here in SA is because pumping stations are being browned out, insufficient pressure some places.

Answer in an above post.

You're beneath a drunkard.

You're a COVTARD.

Why would we stop smoking and drinking because your power was out?

That's easy - generators and bright lights. The power from the panels can now be used to turn the windmill turbines and all's well.

You naysayers are looking pretty stupid right now.

Laffin at your drunkard ass !

Up $0.45/gal here since the fake election.

Davy Crockett might’ve gave a shît but I don’t

lol

Ain't you got ome of them teeny bopper bitches can steal you some?

We were 2.19ish on election day,,, now 2.51,,2.53 across the street..


Podunk AK

12 is the new 18

when youre packin the your-round tan

betcherass! I don’t do PBR.

My fancy auto shutoff fuel nozzle(Fill Rite) for red dye doesn't work(at all) when its around -20F.

2.59 on the way back from getting the rent and a run to Taco Bell


but the pumps are still pumping


wooo baby!!!!

Arby’s 5 for $10 Promotion has ended

Jew bastards

2.65 here today. $2.35 yesterday

"when the rain falls, it falls on the just, and the unjust alike"

Probably better off. Goddam the Arbys. Always giving me the pigeon stools.

I know, and that sheit pisses me off.

Just a wildasssed guess.........maybe some have been living in a hole, but there have been mass power outages across TX, including the Gulf Coast, where millions of barrels of crude are refined daily into fuels. Many of these refineries are idled, down, etc, meaning bbls are taken off the market that are otherwise available. Guess what happens then, when supply falls drastically? Nat gas is much the same......thousands of wells are down due to no electricity, and gas plants are idled as well. It's not that complicated.

It compounds quickly.

No? I guess you’re fu ckin retarded when you’re sober too then.

Best way to get out of Corpus Christi to head north? Have friends coming from Padre Island

Not complicated, but certainly unforeseen.

I was in Texas in ‘89, last time an arctic front on this scale happened, but I don’t recall anything like this week’s events.

With your knowledge of the oil industry, how long would you guesstimate before things return to near normal?

Sorry for offending your sensitivities.

Slumlord always thinks about natural disasters, threats to production, disruptions of distribution and logistics.

Birdie, I can come down for two weeks and give you some life coaching. When you get hot water, holler. 😃

Unforeseen for sure. I think higher crude prices are inevitable under Biden. He's hell bent on taking US bbls off the market one way or another, and that will be bullish on crude. If crude is higher, it will give him some ammo (at least to use and make believable to the dumbasses out there) that green energy is cheaper than fossil fuels. Short term I think prices will fall back down some after refineries and gas plants get back on line. Then comes Summer, and Biden will have the USA cured of Covid and people will start traveling again, sending prices back up some. Just my opinion.

Under Biden don’t overlook a run at nationalizing USA oil.

Jesus, you guys . Can’t wejustget along.

any of the normal ways.

Sir I don’t think the next couple of days is the time to travel, this article from this afternoon states the tanker trucks are held up by the weather.

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/aus...ring-bad-weather-hoping-to-deliver-soon/

Another statewide snow/icing event tonight into tomorrow, followed by near-record cold forecast Thursday night and Friday night

It all ends Saturday morning, I have no idea exactly when supply catches up with demand. Gasoline is hard to find here in San Antonio and I have been told there is no gas in Kerrville, 70 miles northwest of here.

So true. You don't vote blue, they'll squeeze your balls until you turn blue.

Folks are fussing about fuel prices when they ought to be looking at some common sense regulation of Texas utilities....where things as simple as winterizing monitoring instruments and transfer valves might have kept natural gas fired generating stations on line. El Paso, which is connected to a regulated grid if I understand correctly, did not lose power if I understood the MSM news.

Fuel prices traditionally jump a bit in winter and also when something, such as hurricane, fire or tornadoes, damages refineries. This is no different. Now, when production volumes and costs get back to normal and the oil producers and refineries keep prices up, then perhaps complaints will be in order.

When I get hot water?



Wuss

Baby wipes?

😃😃

I think every wind turbine in TX should have a natural gas generator sitting next to it.

Just got back from Buc-ees and filled up the F-250...$2.19 a gallon. I bought a coon skin cap so if it gets cold here in the panhandle.

I imagine Slumlord is a man who has a root cellar full of Beef 'N Cheddars.

When the dust settles I really don't mind high gas prices.

No meat, cheese or much of veggies in HEB today. That and a long line...

Thank you

This "event" while refineries are converting from "winter blend" to "summer blend" is just one of those ongoing unfortunate timing things.
Biden's stated energy policies are not helping the market, either.

Sucks to be US!!!

According to a Bloomberg news blip, domestic oil production is presently down by 40% mostly due to the cold fronts and particularly in the Permian Basin.

Got word late from my Ex BiL that two local gas stations had gas. One didn’t, at the other all they had left was the hi-octane stuff. Passed another three that were out.

But hey gas is gas, I was happy to get it. Sounds like gas could be short for a day or two.

Most of the gas stations here are closed because there’s no power.

I am truly sorry with all you’ve had to put up with this week, hasn’t been quite so bad down here.

I dunno if you missed it, but I posted an Alamo update this morning...

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...ains-of-the-alamo-defenders#Post15799086

Nother 48 hours or less and the weather’s gonna be normal again.

Gas is 3.299 here.

Still scared to death^^^

LOL

For a guy that didn’t need gas, you sure expended a lot of energy finding gas.

LOL

Hill

"My 75 million patriots and MAGA supporters will have a giant voice in America for many years to come."

Giant voice, as in Voice of America.

Yeah.

Better activate the National Guard.

Gas is up 40 cents here since Hidin Biden was sworn in. Everybody is swearing every time they see those price increases........

They can supply gas for FEMA.

No schittt...
And he hasnt even done a EO to increase the fed fuel tax.


Yet......

6' distancing.

I have a friend here that works for a refinery about 40 miles away... He stated that a large refinery down in TX had shut down due to the weather and that's why areas there have no gas... Maybe more than one???

This whole weather thing is obviously hell for you folks down south... Hope it is over quickly..

Now I might be able to make a McDonald’s run or three for the kid, I hear PB and J and cereal is getting sorta old.

Nah, the don't refine it one day and take it to the gas stations the next.

thank you

You’re welcome.

now it has jumped to nearly a dollar more

They're constantly refining and transporting fuel, 24/7 normally. Redneck, there's multiple refineries shut down along the Gulf Coast. TX and LA possess 75% of the USA refining capacity.

My son works at the country's largest refinery and it is producing zero product, 650,000 barrels/day at 42 gallons/barrel is a lot of lost fuel in the system from just one facility. I am sure other refineries have similar issues. He just texted that they have a nominal 500 leaks to sort. It will be a while...

Maybe this will shed some light as to what is going on down here.........EdM, thanks for the update. Gas producers and plants out this way are suffering the same fate as they attempt to restart some plants.

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/finance/news/texas-energy-sector-struggles-thaw-140355467.html

Whatever refined fuel products are sitting in refinery tankage is increasing in value by the day as is that in oil tankers sitting on anchor minus demurrage costs.

The same corporate mindset and design parameters that build power generating and natural gas transmission facilities with exposed, unheated water and air lines probably doesn’t buy semi tractors for their tanker fleet with engine block heaters and airbrake line antifreeze systems.

How’s the diesel fuel situation? Are vehicles dying along the road with gelled up diesel fuel?

My Shell station only had Super this morning - cost me $2.84/gallon to fill up

Anyone who hasn't been buying and storing away a 55-gallon drum of gasoline every payday since the Arab embargo in '73 has no business complaining.

I remember John Denver getting a LOT of blowback when it was revealed he was sitting on, 500 gallons?, of gasoline back then.

It was probably bad gas he had in the plane when it quit running or maybe the dumb fug was rocky mtn high when he was flying it and forgot to fill up either way had to be the glasses fault.

It was probably bad gas he had in the plane when it quit running or maybe the dumb fug was rocky mtn high when he was flying it and forgot to fill up either way had to be the gas's fault.

That guy was a loser.

Rocky Mountain Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh............'thank God he was a country boy' who lived in Ft. Worth area while his Dad was doing something real at a SAC base (Carswell AFB).

Please see topic "Mars Landing Today". It will make you feel proud and forget about current problems for a little while.

John was flying a home built airplane that was built by someone else. The fuel tank switch valve was plumbed into a shelf behind his head and required that the pilot manually turn the valve. The speculation is that he ran out of fuel in one tank and when he went to reach behind him to switch the valve he pushed hard on the rudder and already had the stick pointed down while he was gliding down. This cause the airplane to go badly out of trim and then into a wing stall. The rest is history. So yes, running out of fuel in the tank he was flying off of lead to the crash.

it's a heat wave up here today. The news says it will get to 14 degrees today. I went to work Tuesday morning and it was -15. The high for the day was 6. I drove to Chicago and they had 10 to 12 inches of new snow on the ground and a high of 22. When I got back to Iowa it was 0 degrees.

kwg

Thanks Mike. And thanks for the Alamo update!!!

👍🏻

Only thing to watch now is how fast the gasoline supply gets back to normal. There’s still four five-gallon plastic gas cans been sitting on a high shelf in the garage since Y2K 🙂

They are still clean inside, thought about going out looking for gas for family in case they were short but it weren’t really worth the risk of driving amid the crowds all out looking in this weather. Then too I dunno the quality of gas when the service station underground tanks are almost out, could be particulate matter and such. I’d hate to give em bad gas.

Plus those gas cans have those idiot “safety nozzles” on them, IIRC ya get as much gas on you and down the side of the vehicle as you do in the tank.

Anyways, crisis about over here.

You're quite the dumb ass.

I suggest you sit your broke ass in your house and stop endangering other people with your bald tires and stupidity.

Figured I’d give you something to talk about.

Kudos on being consistently FOS.
