Just my luck

Well I've been at Fort Wilderness since last Thursday with my daughter and grandson and had a great time in all the parks. Trip down from San Antonio was ugly, rained ALL the way. Getting ready to head home tomorrow and this ridiculous fuel shortage hits! No problem getting diesel in the Orlando area but looks like the Florida panhandle is almost dry. I can just make it to Pensacola on a tank but not sure what I'll do when there. Gas Buddy says 75% of the stations there are dry. I guess I may have to just extend my vacation...oh darn lol.

That's a tough situation. I would definitely extend, as this should resolve, or vastly improve within the next few days; I would hope.

I thought they had diesel just not unleaded.

A lot of the stations seem to be out of both.

All of the people hoarding in fear of running out of gas are probably picking up EVERYTHING.

People in the northeast are bringing gas cans to fill up. Next we'll be short of toilet paper, chicken, you name it.

Do you have a TSD or other fleet card? I’m seeing that most truck stops have diesel although some are limiting purchases to 75 gal. Flying J/Pilot put out an email ~24 h ago listing stations without diesel. Not as many as I expected but that may have changed since the last update. I understand gas in Richmond VA is $6.99/gal - if you can find it. Good luck if you do travel.

We're in Richmond and gas is $2.85 - $2.95 a gallon. We have not seen any stations without and bought gas yesterday (Amelia Courthouse west of Richmond) without any issues. We saw a number of tankers making local deliveries on our way home from the city yesterday.

The $6.99 price and “no gas” was reported on the news - PBS in Charlottesville. Our local Sheetz and Farmer’s Co Op were sold out Tuesday evening, but I drove by Sheetz yesterday afternoon and there were a few cars filling up. I didn’t check the price. Spoke with a hauling and excavating contractor this morning - they are not getting their normal Friday fuel delivery. With a few exceptions, GasBuddy is indicating most stations in our town have gas and prices are averaging ~$3.00/gal. Diesel at a nearby TA is $3.24 but purchases still limited to 75 gal. Looks like everything will be looking pretty good by end of the weekend. [Statement removed - partisan/political.]

The pipeline carries gasoline, diesel and jet fuel for airports on the eastern seaboard.

Stands to reason why gas and diesel supply is limited.

Unfortunately, there's a difference between hoarding and common sense approaches. People, since the beginning of time are survivalists.

If there's a coming shortage of something important, societal needs are irrelevant to most. These are the knuckleheads filling trash bags and a dozen gas cans to ensure they have theirs.

Topping your tank off and limiting your driving is common sense.

Just wait until a major power grid is affected by digital terrorists!

Then you can't pump gas, fill generators, etc. Major chaos.

How about an attack on our financial institutions, imagine your 401k no longer exists, or access to your bank account.

Time to build a cabin in the woods!!! Lol.

Seriously though, nothing lasts forever 😎
