[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live on the GA/SC border. All of our gas stations are out of gas. I passed 7 on my way to work that had no fuel. Any gas station with gas has lines. It’s quite scary. [/quote]

Same thing as toilet paper a year ago.   [/quote]
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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
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[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

Correct.[/quote]

His customers are going to have a hard time paying if they can't buy gas to get to work. Maybe he should have saved some for them?[/quote]

Remote work has decreased the need for suburbanites to need gas and most work remotely due to Covid. Small farms provide you Richies with the local organic produce you desperately want.[/quote]

I love small farms. But that isn't how supply and demand works. When everyone tries to buy gas at the same time, especially when many of those people don't buy gas often, the gas runs out. [/quote]
