East coast gas shortage

GOP is determined to recreate the Carter years to sweep next election.

Wonder if inside job?

Sounds like something they would do.

I'm really confused at why so many people need so much gas right now. We've been using one tank every two to three weeks, at most, during the pandemic.

Think FOX has really gotten the dummies to panic to make a one week situation stretch out.

That could be influencing the decision not to distribute gas while they figure out the hack.

People don't need more gas now. As soon as the pipeline hack news broke, people started buying gas regardless of need. The gas shortage is caused by panic buying only.

Same thing as toilet paper a year ago.

Yup.

I didn’t see any of that foolishness near me. It was people filling their cars and service vehicles that drive all day long everyday, getting gas. Twitter is trash.

People are assuming here these are suburbanites. They very well could be farmers that rely on their tractors for their livelihood. If you get out of your bougie suburbs and go out towards Leesburg, there are plenty of farms. Or to put it in terms you city-folk understand, wineries.

Lol. You don’t know that farming vehicles have special gas, do you? Such a good farm boy would know that the diesel that farmers use on the farm is dyed red because it’s taxed differently, and certainly not purchased at your run of the mill gas station. It’s usually delivered to the farm. https://www.quora.com/Do-farms-have-their-own-fuel-pumps-Ive-never-seen-a-tractor-at-the-local-Exxon-If-so-what-kind-of-fuel-is-it-how-much-does-the-tank-hold-and-how-is-it-delivered

Not every farm is hundreds or thousands of acres with personal gas facilities, and most "gentleman" farms do not have the super heavy equipment. This guy may run his own lawn service or a multiple other types of businesses where he needs the gas.

Then he should have a safe way to store it. What he is doing in this picture is very dangerous. It looks like he is panic buying, but I guess it is possible that he buys gas in the really dangerous way all the time.

People were lining up at the stations around here.

No. Service vehicles usually don’t drive around with full tanks of gas daily. However, since their jobs and businesses rely on their service vehicles being able to reach the customer, those vehicles are filing their vehicle tanks. Regular consumers are filling their vehicle tanks. Regular consumers- not the people in the two photos shown, who are clear outliers- don’t have storage for hoarding gasoline or the extra money for buying large quantities of gasoline.

People are panicking because there is a shortage. There is not a shortage because people are panicking. The pipeline that supplies the entire east coast is offline.

The fuel is stuck and people need gas. I take it many brave souls here would not go fill up their car gas tank if the lived on the east coast.

The pipeline was shutdown last Saturday. It will likely be up again by the weekend. The U.S. does keep small amounts of gas in reserve. The gas is gone because people bought it when they didn't need it because of the hack.

Some of us still commute five days per week.

Yes, and that is why people who don't shouldn't have rushed to the gas station to buy gas.

You can make your decisions about not having gas if you lived in a place where the gas supply is offline and everyone drives everywhere. People on the east coast drive.
