Glad I filled up before the weekend. If you can find any gas, the line is going to be long. Prices are increasing.

Those who are stuck with no gas in their tanks will wish they had electric cars.

Perhaps there is an upside to this. People may start to question their driving habits and take another look at public transport, living closer to work, and telecommuting.

Good luck with that in TX, esp public transport

That is what I am hoping. SUV's and trucks are the common mode of transport here in Texas.

We're right on I-35 between Dallas and Austin and I have yet to see a station that is out or even short on gasoline.

the real solution is to not scream "PRICE GOUGING" and allow them to charge $4 or $5 a gallon. If that happened, an army of trucks would ascend on the area in a day or two loaded with gasoline looking to sell for more profit and the shortage would end in a flash. After being through that mess in New Jersey during Hurricane Sandy, I would have begged to be able to pay $5 a gallon to fill up instead of sitting around for 6 hours hoping to fill up.

I like AF's idea of $148.00 per gallon better. I would drive to Texas from California in a rented van full of 10 gallon containers of gas. I would finally be rich.

We are close to Houston and while some gas stations are closed, there is no shortage of gasoline.

The market is perfect. If people are willing to pay $148 per gallon, they'll have gasoline. They just hate FREE!dom.


And the Great Entrepreneurial Spirit!

Why would they do that this time?

I filled up for $1.99 Thursday before the storm. Today my local station was at $3.09. The locals have learned when the truck comes in each day and are 25 cars deep waiting. The station has sold out in a few hours each of the last 3 days. This is utter madness.

No, no, no! You're planning it wrong! Not rented van but USPS van they will give you when you get a job there. Free van, free gas, USPS salary - moar richer Strategist.

Love it. Being poor sucks. A rich Strategist is a good thing.

Local gas stations finally getting deliveries today. I filled up at Costco. They had temporary workers directing traffic. It took about 20 minutes to get to the pump.
