Report: US Gas Prices Could Double Soon, Amid Potential Supply Shortage
Newsmax ^ | 5-17-2022 | Jay Clemons

Some gas stations across the country are already bracing for the Next Big Thing involving surging fuel prices, namely the price per gallon potentially exceeding $10.

For other stations, however, there might be no product left to sell at the pumps.

Throughout eastern Washington, according to a Post Millennial report, gas stations are running out of fuel.

In the Tri-Cities region of Kennewick, Pasco, and West Richland, customers are reportedly pulling up to pumps ... only to find no gas available for purchase.

In fact, a local Facebook group has already identified 10 state stations that are currently out of fuel.

This current shortage mainly accounts for regular unleaded and premium gasolines; but the diesel supply is also in short supply, according to reports.

With the supply seemingly shrinking, and demand going way up, that naturally leads to higher fuel prices.

The next shoe needs to drop mid to late sept. An event large enough to either allow sleepy Joe to declare Martial Law, cancel the elections outright or ensure mail in balloting. It’s gonna be a rough summer and worse fall. Pray.

Some refineries are offline and will come back in a week or two.

What you seem to be saying is, when it comes to what they will or won’t do to stay in power, put absolutely nothing past this thoroughly corrupt bunch. It’s true: This coming summer and fall will most probably be like nothing we’ve ever experienced in the U.S.

Declaring Martial Law is the same as a Declaration of War against American citizens. Not even Joey and his Circus Monkeys have the nerve to go that far. Keep your powder dry. Aim small miss small.

They’re organized, they’re determined to stay in power and worst of all, they have the will power to take life indiscriminately if needed. They are playing for keeps.

“ Joey and his Circus Monkeys”

I believe what is coming will be so bad that all the Rhinos will go begging to Caesar to save them, only this Caesar won’t turn away the crown.

It’s not an oil supply issue.

It is a lack of refinery capacity issue.

This is just one example: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/45-intense-days-what-turnaround-takes-at-the-co-op-refinery/ar-AAXgSfx

This is also the tine for the switch to summer mixes.

For the global mob, everything is going to plan. The best trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

If gas hits $10 and things start falling apart, "they" might want to think through that whole indiscriminate thing.

PD's have no gas for patrol cars, cops are staying home protecting their families, nothing to stop the locals from putting the brakes on the progs getting a bit too pumped up believing they can run the show and start playing Antifa with guns.

That is when they will start to truly understand 350 million guns in private American Citizen's hands, and mostly NOT on their side.

Would you mind giving us an idea of where this was? I need to drive out of state soon, and I’d like to be prepared if I’m heading your way.
