Fucking fear-driven gas shortages. Not an actual shortage, but idiots thinking there will be one, assholes literally filling garbage cans full of gas in the back of their trucks. Half the stations out of gas, the others with a line 12 cars deep.
And I'm down to 1/8th of a tank. I can pick the kids up from school with that, and stay at the house all weekend. But my stepson also arrives tonight, meaning I have to drive him back to Houston Monday night, which is a full tank's worth of gas all by itself. |

That 47 cents is just price gouging by the distributor, there’s no shortage. The Feds refused to release any of the strategic reserves because there is something like 332 million barrels of gasoline in the system. That’s 42 gallons per barrel. The reason for any shortages is people getting hyper and wanting to fill the tank when it’s ¾ full instead of ¼ full.
The 15 refineries shut down in Texas, including the nations largest the Saudi-owned Motiva plant, represent 25% of the nations refining capacity. They will be back up as soon as they can because it's lost money for them. Don't forget the reason they are located there, to ship crude in and refined out, including EXPORT. Not all the refined products stay in the US.
