Gas shortages
Woke up before dawn hearing news about potential gas shortages on the East Coast. I left immediately to fill up my tank at the nearest gas station. There were no lines, and the prices hadn't gone up yet, but there were red bags on most of the pumps that had run dry.

1. Not good

Hopefully just a short term issue.

6. I sold my car on Sunday

Dh and I have been talking lately about getting an EV. I convinced him to go on a test drive with me late Saturday afternoon. Sold my car on Sunday and will pick up my EV this Friday. I’m rather glad that I won’t need to swing by a gas station ever again.

I’m thinking that gas shortages might put a bit of a damper on the used car market. Maybe not.

2. Why did we shut down most of the refineries near New York and Philadelphia?

9. I'm curious also,

I mean I heard that the pipeline issue affected jet fuel and diesel, apparently it also affects regular gas. I mean people have reasons to look for a snake in the wood pile.

Gas is up to $3.16 in central Pa.

7. Left the house at 8 AM...gas at the 2 local stations was $3.09, and $2.99...

4 hours later after litter clean up, gas was $ 3.19 at each station. This is in Illinois, so this is basically just gouging at the pump.

14. We filled all the cars Sunday morning.

If things are getting worse I haven't seen it yet in North Alabama.

Is this one doing forced community service?
