Prices have been gradually increasing here in MN but nothing unusual since the cyber attack.

Stations near Tallahassee are reporting closed pumps. Panic buying is blamed.

Yup. Panic buying here in NC.

I got gas today and was the only one at the pumps. I think I paid $3.13/gallon

I got this from an ABC station in NC:

"There were reports of gas stations in the Southeast running out of gasoline, according to Gasbuddy.com, which tracks outages and prices. In Virginia, 7.5% of the state's 3,880 gas stations reported running out of fuel. In North Carolina, 5.4% of 5,372 stations were out, the company said."

@nini804 I saw where your governor declared a state of emergency. Sounds like NC is particularly hit hard.

Hopefully it's over soon.

Same as nini - here in western NC there is no gas. I called a dozen stations this morning and all they have is diesel. My low fuel light came on Sunday while I was out getting last minute things for dinner and I blew it off, we had company coming and I was in a hurry. DH was in Asheville yesterday and said there were lines at most stations from there all the way home. Well..... now I'm stuck. Did a quick grocery run this morning and have 38 miles till empty so I'm home for the foreseeable future. The SAH pandemic style has now transitioned into SAH gas shortage style for me!

No problem getting gas yesterday in Western PA. The price was $2.9999 at Sam’s Club.

Total panic buying in the Carolinas. DH had trouble getting into the neighborhood because of the lines.

Same here gs, I managed to top my car because a geek friend alerted me 2 days ago right when it happened but didn't do the gas cans till last night and I am grateful i got them filled. Should all be ok by the weekend though. Most stations here are out but diesel is not effected.

I heard last night on the news that you guys could be in the mess for as long as a couple of weeks. Apparently, after the pipe goes back online, it can only travel about 5 mph so the farther up the coast you are, the longer it will take to get to you. It’s a real mess.

I paid $3.09 in my Denver suburb yesterday. The normally busy gas station wasn't any busier than usual.

For those of you outside of this map area, there's no reason for you to see any difference in gas supply.

I’m in the south. I filled up yesterday only because we are going out of town today. Price was the same as usual ($2.69) and there were no lines. We can make a round trip to where we are going on less than a tank of gas. When we get back home, we will stay close until this nonsense abates.

DSIL’s former position involved moving energy around the US. He says the Colonial pipeline issue should only affect the east coast but because of the way the news is handling it, the panic buying is needlessly spreading inland.

I did buy an extra 12-roll pack of toilet paper yesterday! 😉

UPDATE: I not only did not see lines at gas stations today, the prices were the same as or less than they are where I live.

I have 1/2 a tank, so I didn’t stop when I passed a station that had gas this morning so that people who NEEDED it could get it. Folks filling up multiple, enormous gas cans are horrid.

Agggghhh...we are going to Asheville in 3 weeks. Hope this resolves before then, especially for those of you who live in the affected areas.

Someone just posted this on FB. Made me laugh

The pic that Nini posted is infuriating on multiple levels; hoarding, yes, but also, and ultimately more damaging IMO, is the blatantly improper gas can transportation In the back of an (enclosed) SUV with multiple cans. Stupid and selfish, what a winning combination.

Me too Nini. Because what people do not realize is that they are driving up the price of gas by doing this. The pipeline does not transport ethanol gasoline. Ethanol is added at the terminals, so basically at one of the large regional storage facilities. Ethanol is basically like an alcohol product and shouldn't be stored long term. Which is the reason you shouldn’t use ethanol gas in all your power lawn tools and you really shouldn’t store them for the winter with ethanol gas in them. Causes all sorts of long term problems with carburetors and injectors. Anyway, the gas that is at the terminals wont be used because the truckers aren’t going to be able to get there to transport it. They will be too busy trying to make deliveries to catch up and we will end up with price increase. Hopefully operations will get back to normal by Friday and people’s sanity will return for now.

Maybe the stations should give gas priority to vaccinated people. Help that herd immunity along.

Our gas went down from 2.69 a gallon (last week) to 2.58 a gallon today. This isn’t the first time a gas shortage has happened and it certainly won’t be the last. I don’t understand why the oil companies haven’t devised some kind of an emergency plan so surpluses from one area can be redirected to areas where the shortages are taking place. They have plenty of profit and should be able to absorb the costs for it.

Oly, or those of us that actually got Covid and had to suffer through it. We are part of the percentage that are helping get to herd immunity too.

I use no ethanol gas in the Mustang since I don’t drive it as often.

The pipeline has resumed service, but it was insane with the panic buying yesterday and today. On the news they said there would have been plenty of gas had it not been for the panic buying and there was the normal consumption.

I was out running errands yesterday and passed several gas stations. Things had calmed down from the day before. The two stations that had run out of gas had gas and while I did see vehicles at most pumps, I did not see any lines. Our little area is usually more than the big city nearest me and most regular gas yesterday was 2.79. Up about ten cents. Crazy panic buying!! It looks like things will continue to improve, so we are planning to go ahead with our trip next week as planned.

Local news had a brief interview with someone from a/the gas council(?) - sorry for being vague but I did not catch specifics. He said things will begin to improve quickly once back online but it will be 2 - 3 weeks(!) until all supplies fully restored to all areas, remote areas obviously take longer. I have not ventured out, preserving what little gas I have for a vet app't tomorrow. There are several stations within a mile of the vet so hopefully one of them will have gas tomorrow. Most stations here that are getting any gas at all are receiving partial loads early in the a.m. and it's gone within a few hours. Many others are shut down totally for days.

One the morning news they had an owner of a convenience store/gas and he said they sold double the amounts they normally sell in a day. Again emphasized if people kept to their normal habits, they wouldn't have sold out.
