Guess I'm loading up my 87 tune..

[JTDay]

Plenty of gas around metro Atlanta. Prices are a bit high. The pipeline is supposed to be back up by this weekend and it'll be a few daysbafter that for supply to return to equilibrium, or so I've heard.

I just got the week off from work because of no gas what a time to be alive.

Being on the East coast, I'm thinking I'll want to reload my 87 livernois tune due to gas shortages. Who's in the same boat?

Yeah, I'm on the East Coast, too. I will keep my tuned engine on 93 for the time being, depending on availability and kinds of gas being sold. Hopefully, this is just a one-off event. I usually try to keep the tank full or close to it so no worries yet. I have a good bit of driving to do today and will try to fill it up if possible.

I thought I heard the pipeline would be up and running by the weekend. I am on the west coast so I can only go by what I hear. I saw the lines on the news and laughed because it reminded me of the toilet paper crisis last year.

They are Steven. It's one of those fire it back up in stages things. Hopefully they will have it back on line soon. Like Dave said, the news media never lets a good crisis go to waste. Just like last year, if the panic buyers would act like they had some sense, everyone would be fine until it's up and running.

If all the states affected do like NC and waive gas regulations, you will not be able to ensure the quality of gas you get, so you may think you are pumping 93 and are instead pumping 87 or worse. If you live in the affected states, then I'd back off on the tune for a while. Either to 87 or stock.

Jim, you just answered your own question there...."act like they had any sense". Stupidity has now taken over common sense for way to many people out there which has become more evident this past 18 months. .

All five gas stations I pass by on the way to work are out of gasoline., three others on a side-road near work are also out, and I've heard of about a dozen more that are bone dry. I filled up Monday afternoon when I was down to 1/8th tank, and there didn't seem to be a rush. Yesterday, there were lines running up and down every road connecting to gas stations. I'm good until Mon/Tues next week. Good thing I have a month of vacation saved; I don't feel like riding my bike 16 miles one way on a four-lane highway.

True, common sense isn't so common anymore.

my buddy went to Charlotte NC for a job this week. I text him on the way to fill up in Va because of shortages in NC. He text me this morning all the stations he's been by are out. He said it's people hoarding, filling large containers.

If people would buy what they need the supply might be getting back to normal by the time they need gas again.

Hilarious thought. Politicians show up at Joint Base Andrews for their tax payer Air Force aircraft flight home for the weekend. "Sorry sir or ma'am, your aircrew members couldn't find gas for their cars to get to work. No one to fly you home ?. Brrrrr...

I haven't stopped to fill up this week, but the news is saying the only thing left is hi-test. The pipeline seems to be back up, so hopefully this sorts out quickly.

I'm going to laugh at all the idiots filling up huge drums with gas. Besides being a hazard storing this at their house if they don't use it up and at least add some Sta-Bil for it they're going to have a large drum of watered down fuel.

A friend shared this with me today. Not sure where it is but apparently the US Consumer Product Safety Commission had to issue a warning for people to not do this. People please use that thing between your ears. There is a reason we are born with brains not rocks in our head. ?

The sad part is these same people are going to reproduce! We all know the apple won't fall far from the tree.

As a college professor, I have some hope I can change this type of stupidity with my students. It is a small hope but it is hope nonetheless. ?
