Does declaring state of emergency help MD, DC or VA with their current gas shortages?

as crappy as DC is, at least I can walk to everything or take metro.

That’s cuz the signs all say Sorry No Gas.

I literally just drove up GA Ave, and all of the gas stations were opened and serving customers.

Go Wheaton!

This. According to Gas Buddy, as of Friday morning almost 90% of gas stations in DC were out of gas. And when one station gets some, people who have been waiting will fill up and the station will become empty again.

I live in Del Ray, and all of the stations are empty here (must be why the post did a story re them in this morning's paper). Then the Exxon got gas somehow and was out again in a few hours.

In MoCo, gas stations near freeways are out. Everywhere else is basically fine.

Aren't we (VA) already in a governor-imposed state of emergency? Is this is super-duper double secret state of emergency now?

The state of emergency is why you are out of gas. Stations were not allowed to raise prices and it probably had a negative psychological effect of inducing people to buy gas.

Um, not near me n Rockville/Aspen Hill. Very station in my regular sphere is out. Passed 7 stations today. One had gas this morning, and was out by early afternoon.

I’m out of town but heard that everything in Kensington is out. That’s a couple miles from any highway.

Gas stations in richer areas are out, gas stations in eastern MoCo are doing ok on the whole, at least near my lower cost neighborhood. That pretty tells you who is panicking and buying gas they don't really "need" right now.

It hurt. The stats prove it out. Caused a panic. Poor comms. by Feds and state Govs.

All crazies filling up the tanks for their long trips for travel soccer

Not true, I live near Wheaton and every station around here is out. There were long lines at one station and when I drove by a few hours later, they were out. It has nothing to do with income, panic buyers come in all sorts. I have to go on a trip to PA this weekend and now I’m worried I’ll get stranded.

All of those weird/quirky independent stations are out. The rest have gas.
