Conserve Gas used in thousands of Georgia School buses in case there is a shortage while refineries are down.

The storm is expected to take out refinerys which will lead to gas shortages. It takes lots of gas to run school buses.

In GA we had a statewide gas shortage/panic after Katrina.

It was really a media driven event but none the less the people took to any gas station they could find and bought gas at prices topping $6 per gallon. Most gas stations were dry of any gas.

The Governor is trying to play offense but I think this creates more of a "what does he know" then a calming effect.

Now we all in Georgia got to take our kids out and entertain them on Monday & Tuesday. I'd save more gas with my kids in school!

Before and after Katrina the pipelines were shut down. I know that the refineries, even in NM have stopped pumping.

Georgia gets its fuel from pipelines in the area of these hurricanes. They ran low on fuel in Katrina and I guess he's planning ahead this time. Until Rita passes and people get back to work, what is in the pipeline is all there is.
