Whatever. I live here and I drive a gas guzzling SUV and I’m saying there are no lines and prices have dropped.
Prices here in S.W. Missouri have been dropping steadly. Today we are down to $3.24.
Where in Texas?
Last week I waited an hour and a half in line in Missouri City, Texas.
The problem was never state wide and the Texas shortages have been isolated to small areas.
Three refined products lines were shut down yesterday.
Gas shortages are not widespread

A few “sold out” signs are starting to pop up on gasoline pumps in the Fort Worth area, but drivers in North Texas still have not encountered the gasoline shortages that have been frustrating drivers in the Southeastern United States.
Nonetheless, the shortfall in gasoline production from refineries that were idled by Hurricane Ike has worked its way to the Metroplex, which gets most of its fuel from the Gulf Coast but now is getting less of it.
Local gasoline distributors, who transport fuel between wholesale terminals and retail stations, said Wednesday that in most cases their suppliers have them on allocation, meaning they are limiting how much fuel they will sell.
