Heads Up for Those Heading to Dallas: Possible Gasoline Shortage

Submitted by UMgradMSUdad on August 30th, 2017 at 7:37 PM

I just saw a news report about gasoline shortages in the Dallas area. Those driving or renting cars might need to have a backup plan just in case.

"Price gouging" is the best way to reduce problems with shortages. But yeah, nobody claimed that being logical gave one a warm and fuzzy feeling for being a caring individual.

Just please be wary of guys in Florida Gator jerseys offering to fill your car for cash while they use their credit cards to complete the transaction.

On the contrary, please take as many of these individuals up on their offer as possible.

Yes, I certainly retract that statement. Maybe then take some pictures of these good samaritans and share on social media.

are not diminishing to the extent that shortages will effect prices for decades. Gas prices are manipulated bases on demand and other economic factors. If gas goes up to $4 per gallon, there is most certainly a reason but it is not shortages.

But the large Exxon refinery may stay closed for a month. Prices will climb through September but should fall back to mid August levels by November.

I'm stuck here in Houston watching water creep ever so slowly towards my house from the Buffalo Bayou. The water is being released from the reservoirs and its possible we flood out a week after the storm. If I get lucky I will be extremely intoxicated on Saturday full of BBQ and watching the game in my backyard.

Gas shortage? Fuck I can't even find milk at any local store for my kids. I was lucky enough to find eggs and a loaf of bread today. Hurricane Harvey can kiss my white ass.
