Anyone having trouble finding gas in metro Atlanta
I drove by nearly ten gas stations on my way to the store this afternoon. Almost all of them were out of regular gasoline, and I would say half were completely out of gas. Surprisingly though none of the gas stations I drove by had raised there prices, yet.
But I know several gas stations I drove by had paper bags over all the pumps, and those that did have gas only had "premium". I haven't read much about it in the news, just reporting what I saw. It may just be locally a gas shortage.
4. I don't know about the rumor, but I passed by 7 stations on my way home from the grocery store
and none of them had gas. This is in Covington, GA - 30 miles SE of Atlanta. Luckily, my husband got his alloted 10 gallons yesterday. I have half a tank right now and will top off at the first place I find that has any gas and will probably fill all of our gas cans.
The pipeline that serves Middle TN was at 20% and gas was in short supply and people topping off their tanks exacerbated the problem. CNN ran a story that a rumor spread around town that we would be out of gas in an hour and so everybody panicked even though there was plenty of gas. I wrote them an email and told them how much they suck at reporting. Only 15% of the stations had gas for a couple of days. We are back at 60% or so now. I have heard there are shortages throughout the southeast. Wonder if CNN will say the same thing about Atlanta? It's all a rumor and you guys are panicking over nothing.
