IMO there is NO shortage of anything except hedge fund manipulation by NASDAQ sorts ! I remember the even / odd days , the lines , the attendants at stations with 12 ga shotguns and a limit of how much fuel we could get !

I keep my rides fueled up and garaged except when at work . Each vehicle has bed tanks or aux fuel cells and aftermarket OEM tanks that are as large as will fit and function for the vehicle.

The lines are possible as is rationing yet I still personally believe this is not a oil shortage it is speculator’s hedge fund efforts driving the costs .

Just my opinion vs anything based on fact.......:o)

Stay safe !

So you think speculators just woke up a year or two ago and realized they could grossly manipulate the market? I don't think so.

In a certain city in So. Cal they are only allowing $50. at a time...Too many are going through with bad cards, or go over max limit, max out and head for the tall grass, etc...
