As of Monday night, a small number of gas stations in both Virginia and North Caroline have run out of gas.

According to Patrick De Haan, a senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy, 6.35 percent of gas stations in Virginia were without gas as of 9 p.m. on Monday.

According to GasBuddy’s outage tracker, numerous gas stations in the Tidewater region are without fuel and power.

The longer the pipeline is offline, the larger the impact on the east coast, according to AAA. However, foreign gasoline imports and other pipelines can supplement Northeastern supply.

Other areas are expected to see little impact.

For the week, the national gas price average jumped six cents to $2.96. If the trend continues, says AAA, an increase of three more cents would make the national average the most expensive since November 2014,

Biden promised to do away with fossil fuels.

But gasoline isn’t really needed in a totalitarian state. Both Nazi Germany and North Korea use/d wood gassification to power motor vehicles. The technology is proven.

This was done by Iran. I feel it in my bones. It all fits, and we’ll never learn who did it from the government because they’re cozying back up to them regardless.

Frankly, I wouldn’t put it past this administration to have passed key data to facilitate a hack to Iran.

Cui bono. And Trump should triple his protective detail with these idiots occupying 1600 PA.

I hope this hack wasn’t a trial run for parts of the electrical grid or hydro electric dams.

Another 3 days and half the stations on the eastern seaboard will be without gas.

And Americans will go crazy with anger.

It doesn't take much to run out of gas. I did the calculations a few years ago during a hurricane. Basically there are enough cars in any given area to run all the stations dry in that area if they all fill up instead of staying half full.

The Colonial Pipeline attack comes as the Biden administration works to pass a $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan aimed at addressing, in part, America’s critical infrastructure vulnerabilities

Everyone was lined up at the Costco pumps this afternoon in ATL, topping off. I punted and paid probably $1 a gallon more at an expensive BP. Oh, well.

The us used it too. Back in the 40s during the war. My old Ford f100 is convertible to this day. I have the means to do so too. Very good technology to have on hand.

There needs to be a death penalty for ransom ware and hacker attacks. But unfortunately rising gas prices help achieve Biden’s goal, just accelerates the price increase.
