Thanks O’Reilly.. Keep bloviating about price gouging. Let the shortages keep piling up.

[Mrs.Z]

DRILL! DRILL! DRILL!

Tuesday I used my neighbor’s extra car to drive into work in Atlanta from my suburban neighborhood because I could not find gas to fill up my own.

And yesterday my daughter used his car because she could not find gas to fill up her tank.

[Blueflag]

I’d say it’s spotty. We live in Gwinnett county — NE Atlanta suburbs, and while some stations are out, several have gas, and there are NO LINES.

I was in Cobb county (NW Atlanta suburb) today though, and the one station I saw open had a 30 - 50 car line down the street.

My oldest son is in B school in downtown Atlanta, and he has had to go to different stations than his usual one (next to his apt.) but he has had no issues.

Net: where we live, the outages have been spotty but constant. We have been inconvenienced. That is all.

I finally found premium after two attempts yesterday and down to only one work day’s worth of travel (only 13 miles one way). Premium is scarcer than’s hen’s teeth.

From Alpharetta to Norcross I see maybe one station open on any given day. And the line is out the wazoo. Of course, when I did find gas, some soccer mom next to me proceeded to fill her car and then pull four 5 gallon cans out of the trunk.

I can make until maybe next Thursday with no driving this weekend. After that, who knows.

No gas in Aiken, SC as of an hour ago.

“Hussain, the station's manager”

Why is it that so many middle easterners now run the gas stations/ convenience stores?
I noticed it before I left Memphis in 2004, and it had spread to to even rural stations.

Article is from Monday. Still problems, I take it?

[Republican Red]

I’m in Alpharetta GA and I found three stations with gas. The lines at all of them were so long in the afternoon I came back at 5:00am and filled my car up. Then I came home to get my husband’s car and went and filled it up too. No lines at 5:00am.

[AlaskaErik]

"We're dry. We've got no gas here," Hussain, the station's manager, said Monday morning.

Well Hussain, better hope Hussein doesn't win because then your troubles will be getting much worse.

[RetiredArmy]

Same here in our area of NE Alabama. We have stations that have been out for a week or more now. Some are going on TWO weeks!!! Prices still high because there is no gas.

[screaminsunshine]

Under the Obama plan gas will only be a dollar a gallon. But there won’t be any gas. Oh well at least the price is fair.

[loreldan]

I saw gas here in Colorado Springs for $3.41 today. No lines here.

[too much time]

I’m an hour outside of ATL. Have been wondering as my kids travel on buses to football games, etc. - how are all of the school buses filling up without problems? Do they use diesel?

No Blood for Oil! Wait a minute - we won that war - how do the libs explain that slogan?

[ctdonath2]

‘round me, 2 of 8 stations had gas, one at $4.19 and the other at $3.79 but with dangerously long lines.

[Gator113]

Not to worry, the democrat run congress is working the problem, right?

Meanwhile, have you tried wind power by pushing it down the road? I hear that’s healthy too. I do hope that you live at the top of a hill and have several cars to push down the road until you can buy gas.

While you’re waiting, take advantage of the savings you are running up by not having to buy gas, replace all the lights in your house with that garbage that wont light up anything more than your favorite painting.

If it starts to look like your going to get fired for not showing up to work, ride a bicycle and leave your home at 3 in the morning... less traffic at that time too.

Anyway, hang in there, because when Obama is president, you wont need gas and you wont have a job, unless you’re black. You will be able to stay home and collect a government check and ponder the good old days.... back when you were free.

We had the same problem here in Tallahassee last week. I actually had to borrow my in-laws car because mine was out of gas and there were literally no gas stations with gas. It lasted about 5 days. It has slowly come back to life this week.
