Gasoline Shortage
For a week now it has been a little nerve-wracking around here. Our local gas stations have been running out of gas. Some of the gas stations have been out since last Friday (the 15th). This is crazy!What the hell is going on? Are other areas of the US experiencing the same issues as we are? If not, why not? If so, why haven’t I heard about it? Are we going to have “rolling gas shortages” like the heat wave rolling black outs in CA? Are GA and TN the first in a long line of those about to be inconvenienced? I suppose we’ll see.
My conspiracy theorist mind runs the course of:
- the economy has tanked
- we are running out of fuel
- what are we going to do?
I unfortunately have no answer to the final point above.
And maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it is just due to Hurricane Ike knocking out a few oil rigs, causing the fuel flow to drop to 20% for a few days.
Maybe.
