And what would you push it out with? In needs more refined product to displace the refined product in the line. Those pumps don't move air.
So, what are you suggesting? That the gas that they had from immediately after Ike struck, came from elsewhere? That since there was no new gas being pumped in to the pipeline, in Taxas, that there are no pumping stations along the pipeline? That all the positive pressure in the entire pipeline comes from the originating refineries? What conspiracy do yo see being played out? That they actually have gas, and that the shortage is a contrived one? That there was a secret Georgia based SPR that was tapped and has now run dry?
