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.

It’s starting.................................................

Not to sound like an asss.....but it sounds like you should have filled up earlier like I did.

I drove from upstate NY to Cape Cod today. Plenty of gas but it's $3.00 a gallon for regular.

You are not an ass that is good advice. My pickup is tanked up. I can run 280 miles with the fuel in the truck.
But fuel in the Infiniti is low, I went down there to tank up, and took a 5 gallon gas can with me. A day late and a dollar short on the backup.

The pipeline thing has phoney shyte written all over it.

If its that easy then most/all infrastructure is at risk.

Ml
I heard about this at 2:30 today. Stopped on the way home and filled up the Camry. Went home and got the Ranger out to fill up. Had to wait in line. Schit Iike this worries me, need gas to get to the cabin.

This country is less than two weeks away from anarchy at any time.

To be an ASS, ever hear of gas cans and fuel stabilizer?

Yeah, I'm thinking the world is pretty fragile.

Y


Yes I have and I used to keep two, 6 gallon cans of gas with fuel stabilizer on hand. I fell out of that practice 3 years ago. Looks like I need to get back with the 12 gallons of gas on storage. Thanks for the reminder.

Agreed it’s insane some oxygen thieves think Biden has it under control

And me and the kids ride (our minivan) is on E

We try to stay 500gals ahead of the game but this year it's gonna be spendy for sure.

How bout that first Hundred Days?????????

Would not of happened if Trump was President.

I wish anarchy would hurry up, I'm bored. Maybe folks will be worried about filling the fuel tank instead of buying ammo.

That's a gas war price in many places. It's Costco and Walmart's price here, the cheapest around.

Let the stupidity continue.

Amen 673

I’m prepped . But diesel here has been $3.25-3.50 since Biden took office. It’s up around $.80 since Jan 1

Were they out of just the cheap stuff?

Supreme gone ?
E-85 Flex gone too?

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.

Just did a road trip, the wife and I.

California to Stead
Reno to Bend
Bend to Palouse
Spokane to Gold Beach
Gold Beach to Crescent City
Crescent City to Paradise

Spent about 250 bucks on gas. 32 mpg in wife's lesbosubaru.. Average price per gallon: $3.79/gal


ps -Audio books are the bomb

yes I thought the same thing ,you would think they had back up manual valves ,..that would be the smart thing to do

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.

Saw on tv yesterday biden has a 63% approval rating

#winning

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!

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.

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.

Just rolled into the speedway on i40 and filled up. No problem.
$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?

Filled my Frontier this Am, $2.79
Ran out the minute I heard[Sat AM]
and filled Tahoe $2.60
Will run out after work today
and fill CRV.
So far all good up here in SWVA but it won't stay that way for long.

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.

Do you grasp how many Americans are served by the CP?
That coupled with Air and military?

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

My personal vehicles may become delivery vehicles for our business [should it go on long enough and I can't refill work vehicles].

You’ll be graspin nem ankles son when gas dat hit $6 dolla

We no deliver
You come pick your chit up

Do you get to watch? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Down south ya might have to stand watch, syphon hoses will be coming out soon. No effect here yet but 3.10 a gal for regular.


Jumped up to $3.15 this afternoon.

All stations here have jumped it to $2.99 since early AM this morning.

Yup. Take advantage of a perceived shortage to push the "Green Energy" agenda.

... and make a little extra in a hurry.

When you start walkin my friend, and you go 10-15 miles....you won’t struttin dat ass

LOL

Been kicking around getting a Nissan Leaf or Ford Fiesta for the end times

Redneck credit card, we call it.

6ft rubber hose

Stations are running dry quick around here.

Little country store down the road still pumping, they are lined up all the way around.

I don't have to be anywhere but home, wife still has to travel some for work but says patients are cancelling because they don't have fuel to get to appointment.

After the last hurricane I kinda sorta looked around for a truck bed tank to store more at home without screwing with 5 gallon cans. Never decided on anything thinking I'd have to mount it on a trailer to fill it and then decide on some kind of pump.

Welcome to the new normal I guess.

I pray you all get some gas soon. It’s 2.69 for diesel here.

We just got a Bucee's down here, has 120 pumps, someone just said half are dry as of lunch time.

Is bezos selling gas yet?

My brother is my neighbor here on the mountain, he lives 1/2 mile away. And Thank God he has a Tesla. We need to go downtown tomorrow and I think we will take the Tesla.

We'll be using our Mazda3 and CRV for a bit it appears.

The Frontier & Tahoe will be taking a break.

Gonna have to mothball the VarmintMobile

Pipelines are bad for us.

Who needs 'em.

Just plug our Teslas's into a windmill.

Middle Georgia, huh? What town? I used to live in Milledgeville.
You got a Buc-Cees down there? That is something new. I never heard of that place until I started driving the Big Rig. They are all over Texas, huge like you said with 100, maybe 120 pumps. Interestingly, no Big Rigs allowed.
I never saw a Buc-Cees in Georgia.

Put some stabil in that fugker too

Right off the interstate sort of between Fort Valley and Warner Robins.

I wonder where strategic gasoline reserves stand...
I expect Diesel will go up from running trucks to supply areas served by the pipeline...

Yep.......................power grid will most likely be next.

Wanna bet when?

This stuff has contrived written all over it.

MM

Gas is drying up all over the Carolinas. Things seem a bit better in the western half of the state.

How many pipelines will the biden cartel shut down?

Maybe build some refineries out that way? Not one single refinery in NC or SC I don't think and one dink in GA.

Asheville or Boone would be a couple of great places for refineries

All of the little refineries that the big ones swallowed up (after Teddy Roosevelt busted his truss to prevent it) would look to be an asset.

There’s one about an hour before you to Orange Beach Alabama

Price of fuel creepin' up like Biden on a 12 year old...

This is why there is gasoline shortage. In a week the supply will be back to normal, but the panic buying herd mentality just drain the tanks and jacks the prices.

LOL, the "polls" are back. Sounds like they must have "polled" LA.

Delivery trucks need fuel too. Hope the situation doesn't get worse as a result.

Seems pretty simple.

I paid $4.49 for non E and $3.49 for diesel yesterday on the Oregon Coast. It’s been on a steady increase since November out here and you should hear these commy Flucks whining.

The Asheville area is out of gas.

Text 3 o'clock this afternoon from traveling neighbor...

'We are in Ellijay, GA., there are very few stations with gas. Just lucked by one with gas and reasonably short lines.'

Was it spendy?

Same as usual

Biden just announced that there is no fuel shortage so you must just be imagining things.

Guess no fuel shortage like no crisis at the border? 9 out of 10 stations have bags over pumps.

They will be mailing out rose colored glasses with the next stimulus checks.

I like that.

And wash the rear curtains

Mobile, AL still has gas, but basically none in Pensacola, FL. I'm somewhere in the middle and had to fill up a bit ago. Lines were forming and pumps shutting down.

Funny thing is none of the gas on the coast is supplied by the pipeline. The sheeple are panicking, again...

I went in to town again this evening. Just a 5 mile drive, I got enough gas in the tank for 280 miles so, no problema for me.
There is still no gas in Marshall. The Exxon lady told me if they are lucky will get more gas on Thursday.

Where does the fuel supply come from?

I wonder what the root cause of all these shortages is?

^^^Douche bag^^^

Chevron Pascagoula, by barge and truck.

it problems the 5500.mile pipeline in the se was hacked. When the get the virus'es run down with new safeguards they'll be up and running again week 10 days. Work at home or go jack your root your fugged. you know I wouldn't sh*t you. Mb

And Joey,s handlers told him to EO the XL pipeline outta existence.....


Liberal Socialist Democrats....
The gift that keeps on giving.....

I paid $3.09 a gallon for 93 octane today . No sign of a shortage yet.

UPS had all of us package delivery drivers fill up at a couple of local gas stations. They didn't want to use up what fuel we have in our tanks at the building. Every gas station within 5 miles of our building in Knoxville is out of gas almost. When I went in to get the fuel receipt, the cashier told me that they had less than 500 gallons left. I filled up with 93 octane and put 40 gallons in to the tune of $124.

Why.

Colonial brings refined product.

Most of the areas it serves aren't producing much crude.
Build refinerys there, and then you will be transporting crude for
them to refine. Same problem, less efficiency.

It's one reason our fuel is so expensive here in southern Pa.
Our fuel is from the Buckeye pipeline. Philthadelphia to Ohio.
Philthy has no crude, so it's shipped in, at high cost.
About half of the refinerys in that area have been closed.
The remainder thrived from trainloads of crude out of
The Balkan. When it was cheap.
It's not anymore, and they are
on the verge of closing. If they do, the Buckeye will reverse flow,
And pump oil from the Great Lakes East. They are already contemplating
doing that for the West half. Somehow, it would flow both directions and
meet at Altoona Pa. Where I used to load out of.

You'll get it one day, I got faith in you.

So we can drive 3-400 miles and have to charge it for 18 hours? Lmfao. You’ll never get it.

I've got this!

Lmao, city boy. How do they tow? Most of us wouldn’t be switching from a Subaru Outback to a Tesla.

The current administration is going to make what Obama did to America seem like child's play!

You not only sound like an ass you are an ass and proud. Keep that tank topped off now, ya hear

Pretty simple,you are 100% correct !

Well, 24 hours ago Ford released this.



But it'll probably be Rivian that will go after the Subaru Outback model and the like.

They all have stated their vehicles will have comparable towing capabilities to the current non-electric comparables.



BTW,
Rivian is building Fords all electric F150.

In other news, sparky is a virgin.

(Anus excluded)

Pretty easy to see those that were too lazy to see where this was going. I’ve been around long enough to see how people react. Sorry if I stay ahead of them. You guys might learn a lesson but I doubt it.

Lmao, I’m not talking about towing a single axle Uhaul, city boy. Lmfao

I never seen somebody so proud over a tank of gas.

LOL

Travis, you told me you didn't kiss and tell.

I’ve never seen so much whining from adults.

I bet in your neighborhood it’s considered a sign of wealth.

LOL

So you tow your 40 RV with your Subaru do ya..

If you had any understanding of electric motors and their capabilities you wouldn't be pursuing this line of conversation.

I lied.



PS-You owe me for those stitches.

I bet in your neighborhood you bring down the IQ level.

When everybody gets a fugging electric car then it will be whoooops...... we got a power shortage now.....

LOL

Oh, ok, enlighten me Thomas. Enlighten me about current towing capacity and charge times.

That a good bet.

Fugk no, son.

I gots me a FULL TANK O GAS!!!!

Do I look like your Google bitch or something?

I bet you do.

No, just a bitch talking out his ass. Lmao

Want to trade for some toilet paper?

#NEVERLETACNNCRISIS

Don’t need it or ammo either. I am a little short on some reloading supplies, lead mostly.

And just 6 short months ago this country was completely energy independent.

Anywhere close to Randolph/ Barbour co?

Greenbrier Co.

Hunted there many years ago,(great bear hunting) another Beautiful place in Wva.
Hunting a little further north now.

We hunt Pocahontas. Huntersville area.

Had a good size bear at the cabin this weekend.

Guessing still great bear hunting !

Hows the deer hunting?

And what's the difference now????? What a mess.

Fuqk 46

It is. We were seeing 7 different bears last year during the summer (2 cubs on their own) a mother with her little one and 4 others, two bigger bears running together in the bunch.

Deer hunting has suffered in my opinion since they’ve allowed doe season in the area we hunt, Cal Price State Forest. It’s all changing this year though to Bowhunting/Muzzleloader only from what I’ve heard. We’ll be spending time in the National Forest I guess.

Some deer taken, but they’ve over harvested the forest and doe hunting. I use to see 5-6 deer a day, these days your lucky to see 3-4 a week. I guess they do this in order to make money for Watoga State Park.

I just drove 1100 miles in last three days, all over Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. No problems. Gas everywhere, no wait.

The colonial pipeline ceo said pipeline should be back up to full capacity later this week.

Panic buyers shouldn't be able to vote.

They just love the drama of a crisis so they can have something to complain about.

And rant about on Twatter and Farce book

Fighting for gas at Kightdale NC Marathon station gets two arrested.

https://www.wral.com/two-people-spit-fight-at-knightdale-gas-station/19673483/

it's a bit dire in the OBX

got in line at 7:15

topped up at 8:05

enough to get me through the next couple weeks.. pedal bike can suffice for most jaunts to the beach.

You never get to see how those electric vehicles will do in -20F.

Com'on Musk Melon, show us how far they will go, how they keep you warm and the windows defrosted. How they handle on icy roads.

the popeye gon runoutta cheekin if th damn truck cain’t git therra

how peeples posta feeb dey famblys

should have kicked her in the c-nt, gas is still around 2.50-2.60 here.

I don’t understand why he got arrested. She wrecked his car, she spit in face, she took a swing first.

If he was gonna go downtown too, he should have snatched that weave and kicked her straight up the ass on the retrieve.

Hope he made it to the pumps at least

Good to know, I paid 2.75 to fill the pick up yesterday in central FL.

Be heading through Texas in a couple days in the RV.
Gotta tank full of 1.87 a gallon last Octobers fuel that might get me to the Florida state line on I-10.

Don't appear to be much for shortages westbound but I was curious of price.
1000 miles of I-10 getting through Texas will be around 3 fill ups while in your state.

Hopefully he trashed her phone with that toss.

Where did she say anyone was arrested?
@ 1:14 she says no arrests were made.

diesel is 2.79 more or less, here in Corpus.

WRAL, the most leftist of the leftist stations in our area.

I was just at the Dollar General, and I overheard conversations about half hour waits at local gas stations. People are mainly panicking over word of shortages coming. I would have filled up, but I have three-quarters of a tank now.

Yup youre right after I watched the news segment.

I should have fact checked JeffA

Maybe you should fact-check JeffA too

Didn’t mean to come across that way.

Wasn’t fact checking, seeing if I missed something.

Well , JEFFA ?

lol

All good

Thought at first you were being a “wayneShaw”

Things are loosening up just a bit in some areas of N.C. You have to get a bit lucky and show up at the right gas station at the right time. Hopefully things will ease up some time over the weekend.

I just swung through the gas station for some Jai Alai.

About 10 deep out onto the main street. LOL

We is all tired of your bullshit! Post something constructive, all’s weever get is constipation posts and big nasty booger pics, FFS.

You're so easily lead astray. lol.

Actually I was burning through YouTube looking for the video so I wouldn't have to post a link.

Must of seen a dozen photo/commentary type postings that stated their had been arrest"s made but none of them had the video.

The video owner had posted on Instagram or Twitter.

Found the link I posted and saw it had the live video and made the post, never even watched it through.

So, that's the best excuse I can come up with.

In my haste to keep y'all informed I errored, please forgive me.

I, appreciate you’re posting of this either way. 👍

Wouldn’t surprise me anyway if they both got arrested being blue leaning NC.

She definitely needs to pay restitution.

Don’t you have corn feeders to go fill?

Lol, nope..

I might start a good [bleep] my pants thread tho.

the benefits of mass communication

You still me a Hobo music thread

If you gonna roll wit the clique nhigga...pay yo alms

Quit thinking logically. If the CCP can hack an election, it can sure as hell hack a pipeline.

And now a bridge crack stops food deliveries and no river traffic of produce either.

Well, blame the pipe on Russia. We need a nuclear war.

Screw off Jeff, anyone not smart enough to wait 2 weeks for the final MSM version to feed to us Fire heads is persona, "Unforgiven".

I did a disco thread [bleep]. Can’t win around here.

Being a retired electric lineman I have seen first hand how goofy folks get when they have no power or fuel.Back in 2003 I believe about 5-7 States lost the power grid for 5 days.All of our sub-stations here in lower Michigan had no electric.I was on call trouble shooter and people were wigging out.After that little episode we purchased 2 gravity fed 300 gas/diesel fuel tanks and a 17 kw propane whole house generator.Glad we did..

Yes Jag,

I'll try to keep my post the truth and nothing but the truth from this moment on, just like you.

This evening I drove Merrimon Avenue from downtown Asheville, all the way to Weaverville. This is the main road of the north side of Asheville NC.
I counted 14 gas stations, including 3 big ones at Ingles grocery store. All were out of gas.
Turning towards the Interstate on I 26, there was a little Mom n Pop Shell that did have gasoline! Every pump was getting pumped and there were 8 cars in line.

They said today that 78 percent of gas stations in Asheville are out, but my research shows that 93 percent are out.
Hoping for a better tomorrow.

We were in a Tesla so we just waved at the gas stations, as we drove on by.

Liberal hell holes are panic buyers. That's why they are out of gas.

Biden supporters go fill your trashcans, your gone a run out

Why don't you go out there to Exxon, Stanelys Citgo and Ingles, tell them to get some gas in or your going to take action......

Ha!!!!!! Where are all of those dumb-azzes that ridiculed me for buying a 100gal diesel tank for my truck? You stupid folks that ridiculed; how’s the fuel situation going for you on the East Coast? A bunch of dum drunks that post stupid comments at night before bedtime, LOL

Did you shoot them the Bird as you drove by in your Tesla???

What a coincidence. Yep. Just in time for summer vacations. Kerp those suckers locked down one way or another.

Will my yard guy be able to get gas to keep my grass lookin' good ?

Daddy always said,
"Son, don't ever hit a lady.
But if a woman starts swinging at you,
she ain't no lady".

If he had knocked her are into the dirt, she had it coming.
And of story.
And she would still owe restitution.
Except. "She ain't got no 'shurance".








Some stations here are out. Don't know why, for sure.
Our pipeline is from the refiners in Philthy.

I'm guessing that it's a self imposed thing.
Sheetz stores are running out, I think they are redirecting trucks.
Using some if the local trucks to ship fuel from here to places that
are out. Now, there aren't enough trucks to keep up with the increased
Local demand as people here prepare.

We did. I foresaw this exact thing. Our cars are full, and
I have a couple cans full. The cans are a normal thing, bought a couple
weeks ago. I always like to have about 10 gallon here.
Added to whatever is in the car, it's another 250 miles.
If we needs to scat, it's there.
Crazy chit to think about, but everyday lately, it seems less crazy.

Colonial Pipeline resumes operations after hacking shutdown

Fuel began moving through the Colonial Pipeline late Wednesday afternoon, five days after hackers strangled the massive oil network that runs through the Southeast.

The Colonial Pipeline Company said it will be several days before the system is fully operational.

“Colonial will move as much gasoline, diesel and jet fuel as is safely possible and will continue to do so until markets return to normal,” the company said.

Colonial Pipeline storage tanks are seen Monday in Woodbridge, N.J.

The massive oil distribution network, which transports nearly half the fuel used on the East Coast, was targeted by Russian hackers Friday.

The hack caused oil shortages throughout the region, fueled by people panic buying gas after learning about the shutdown.

Gas prices spiked and gas stations from Florida to West Virginia reported running out of gas. As of Wednesday afternoon, nearly two-thirds of gas stations in North Carolina and more than 40% of those in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia were out of gas, according to GasBuddy, a travel and navigation app tracking gas data nationwide.

Russian hacking group DarkSide was responsible for the attack, the FBI said. The group is known for its ransomware attacks, in which it takes over a computer system, locks the owners out and demands payment in exchange for leaving.

The Colonial Pipeline Company shut down the pipeline as a proactive measure after the cyberattack. The company does not plan to pay the ransom, according to Reuters.*


*(I refuse to be held accountable for the content of this cut and paste message be it fact, fiction or fantasy.).... Jeff

I figured we see some crunch here - other than prices going up about 40 cents, no lines, no shortage.

Pulled into a station last night about 9pm, I was the only customer - I figured I was going to see a sign on the pump saying they were out.

Gas went up a dime here, just for the hell of it.

Found gas at the second station I hit, but only high-test. $3.93! Ouch. Gotta have it. Good for about three weeks now.

I keep plenty of gasoline in my garage. It's been there for months.

I hear in some socialist / communist strongholds along the east coast you can order toilet paper at the pump and pick it up at the register as you leave.

And there you have it.

simon, just curious. Can you smell the commie stench from Asheville at your place?

Some days its strong here, prevailing winds and all. Its hard to tell the difference between that funk and the BS odor from Chapel Hill.

Lol. I hear ya.

That Chapel Hill funk may have a certain sweetness from all that edjumication. Kinda like anhydrous ammonia.

Asheville is definitely Liberal Coo Coo Land. I live way out in the country 25 miles away from Asheville. But I do have to go in to town at times. There is a great Indian restaurant downtown that we like to go to. If I want something from Home Depot, have to go in to town for that we don't have a Home Depot in Madison County.

Always entertaining to see all the tattoos and lip rings etc., every other car in town is a Subaru with a Climate Change and a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker.

Hilarious. Haven't been in Asheville in a while. Doesn't sound like it's changed any. Friggin liberal kooks. I remember when it wasn't that way. Doesn't seem that long ago. Must be gettin old.

Lol.

Pretty ironic statement given that gun enthusiasts have been in the midst of a panic buying-induced ammunition shortage for more than six months now.

Non-event here - we don't get our fuel the same way but my son does live in GA. Been a non-event for him too as he drives diesel. Data shows it's a non-event for large consumers of diesel as well - truckers. Tender rejections into the 4 most affected states are at the lowest point in a month. Carriers aren't scared to go into those states, either they get enough to go in and out or they know diesel supplies are fine. Even if you look at tenders that stay within those areas - trucks have to fill and refill in affected states - non-event for diesel.

It's a panic driven shortage for sure - I wonder how long those gas stations could have pumped on normal demand.

The fact they blamed Russia again I don't believe this for one damn minute. It was probably a Chinese or a American greenie nut.

Foreign operators aren't going to screw up a good thing. Biden is the best gift they could possibly have. If anything, they'll hack stuff to make it better for people - better chance of re-election.

Did my first fill up since first hearing of a gas shortage. Wanting to avoid lines (admittedly, didn't check local stations first), I panned to try the rural gas station about 20 minutes north of me, way out in the country, on the way to the rifle range. No lines at all. Not even a single car there other than mine. There was, however, a sign on each pump that said "Limit $30.00." So they are rationing it.

That could be a good thing.

Because if “karen and ken” are in front of you, you might not get anything.

I'm sure that's exactly what they had in mind to prevent.

So by Tuesday when the stations are full of gas everywhere - what's Ken and Karen gonna do?

I wonder, if their house burned down and the ins company wanted to look and see they dropped 300 bucks on fuel 2 days before - would they claim the KnK were negligent in storage of excessive flammable material and try and fight them?

Point for insurance cross thread reference.
