The guy’s a liar.

I just pulled up the gas buddy map. Almost all the stations in North Dallas and the northern suburbs are out of gas.

So I’ll say it again. He’s a liar. And not a very good one.

He’s totally lying to prevent runs. Atlanta is starting to get thin on gas.

No, this is nothing more than a scumbag enemedia-driven “crisis” that became a self-fulfilling prophecy by morons who still listen to the MSM POS. A temporary shutdown of a couple of a couple regional refineries has only a slight impact on supply; however, every braindead dumbass running to fill up their car out of panic overwhelms the natural purchasing pattern, which is why all of these stations are now out of gas. By Saturday everything will be back to normal...

I am in Garland and a friend suggested the Gasbuddy app, which helped.

It’s probably a self fulfilling prophecy— we all realized gas might be scarce, ran to the stations all at once, and lo and behold, gas is scarce.

At one I saw, a guy in the middle lane was waiting to cut into the line, so then he merrily went to the head of the very long line and cut in. At the one I was waiting at, one person drove past the obvious line (what was he thinking?) and headed straight for a pump. Much honking from everyone taught him the error of his ways and he made a u-turn and headed a half block back to the end of the line.

There have to be at least 250,000 storm flooded cars in Houston that aren’t going anywhere. People wanting to fill up before the price goes up any more. Deliveries are bound to be down with refineries shut down and roads flooded. I think they can get the refineries back online fairly quickly though.

Duh....if everyone in the Metroplex fills up, the stations run out. It was only a rumor, but a self-fulfilling one.

Panic buying

He is correct. There(currently) isn't a gas shortage. There is a panic buying and distribution problem.

Of course, if you took time to understand what he said...
