And, this is NOT the same as TP scarcity a year ago. We cannot store gasoline in our basements. There was not a shut down in the supply chain of TP. TP isnt used to transport goods across America. To say it's the same thing is sort of gaslighting, don't you think? It's possible the news is accurately reporting gas supply will be normal in a few days. But, this is not just a "nothing to see here" situation either.


But that's not what is happening some idiots are literally putting gas in trash bags.


People putting gas into random containers isn't causing the shortage. 99.9999999% of people buying gas are refueling their vehicles.

That photo was from several years ago. It happened but was entirely unrelated to this current situation. Remember kids, just because you saw your Aunt Mary Lou Tweet something she found on Google Images (and a bunch of click-hungry news outlets re-share it), doesn't mean it is accurate.

There are ridiculous reports online (with photos) of people pumping gas into rubbermaid storage tubs, plastic garbage bags, etc. Its ridiculous.

If people are just putting gas into their actual car, I have no problem with that.

Is Gas Buddy accurate? It was showing a ton of stations in MD last night having gas?
Or was it just not updated?
Lucky for me, Dh always has several large canisters of gas, just in case.

Not sure but I live in Sterling and its had multi hour lines backing up Cascades Parkway.

Wow so glad I missed that sh*t show. I managed a 2 car wait at our neighborhood Exxon yesterday afternoon. Regular only.

Crazy. Why the panic. It's not like some people are commuting. Many are still telecommuting.
You will be find getting gas if you are not in the panic area.
