If an electric car pays no fuel tax, can a hybrid diesel-electric use
red diesel? :-)

Generator gas is offroad, you folks buying generator gas surely arent
paying road tax.

Funny you say that about the tank.____

We just had to “borrow” some diesel from one of our extra tanks to
our colo genset, to get one of our guys to the next station that had
diesel.. ____
It was over 20+ miles away, and his 2500 was past E.. We had to call
around to see who had fuel for him.____

It’s pretty crazy here in DFW, most of the stations here have 0.00
on their signs denoting that they have no gas.____
People lined up all down the access roads for fuel for the stations
that do.____
All mine stay pretty full, but I’ve always done that.____

I personally think the media should be ashamed of the panic they set
off, but it’s all about what gets people pumped up, to them.____
My wife works for a municipality, and their officers spent a fair
amount of time at gas stations today. They are short handed already,
because____
they have sent a contingent down to Houston. ____

I have an 8000 gallon tank of diesel at my shop. Hope I don't have
to refill it before the prices come back down.____

Its much less awful than initial estimates. They had said we
would be down to just over 50% refining capacity, as it stands
we are still in the mid to high 70s, and as I understand it only
one refinery is slated to be offline for an extended time.____

Its best to just get 20 or 30 gallons in reserve cans in the
garage, more if you have the capacity. It shouldnt be impactful,
but we are coming up on the labor day price hike, in conjunction
with this, theres going to be some gouging attempts, but its
been made federally clear that gouging wont be tolerated.____

So a news report came out claiming that the gas stations would
soon run out of gas because the refineries are all shut down.
So, guess what started happening in Fort Worth, a run on gas. I
went to fill up my wife's car last night as it was running on
about 1/8 tank and all the pumps were busy. I thought that was
strange at 10pm. This morning, the local 7-11 where I make a
morning stop had 4 deep at each pump. At lunch, every gas
station I passed was the same. My truck was on E so I had to
wait. I went home, emptied all my gas cans into my project
truck, and went back and got in line. For the most part people
were being courteous, but when I got out of my truck, a guy in a
black BMW and a woman in red sedan were going at it over who was
supposed to get the pump next at the pump in front of mine. She
was threatening to back into his car so he called the cops. The
truck in front of him pulled out so he got a pump and she got a
pump in less than 30 seconds of arguing. He told her he had
called the cops, so she then called the cops and claimed the guy
accosted her, making it a priority call so they showed up quick.
He pumped his gas and left and she waited for the cops. The look
on the cops face said it all, "why the f*ck am I dealing with
this woman with everything that is going on?" Fort Worth sent
100 offices down to Houston so they are short staffed right now,
and an argument at the gas pump is not a high priority. Anyway,
just a heads up as to what might be coming to the rest of the
country soon. Most of the gas is refined down this way, so
unless things get better fast, there could be shortages in a lot
of places. ____
