Panic buying is causing stations to run out much sooner than would have been the case, yes, and it’s not good. However, once it sets in, that old adage becomes true, he who panics first panics best. When rationality flies out the window regarding something as crucial as fuel for your vehicle to get to work, you’d better dive into the fray before the price skyrockets or all the pumps in your area shut down. I’ve read and heard that people are already starting to follow tanker trucks to gas stations in this area.
Someone from near the TN line said they got 5000 gallons today and at the time of the FB post, they had 887 gallons left. Guess people will turn to FB like they did when that last tornado came through. They posted places which had power, gas, ice, etc. was a very interesting time. I had to go out and drivers were very nice. Lights were like a 4 way stop. I kept my phone charged in the car.
