Anxious motorists in more than a dozen states across the southeast are now lining up for gas, with many trying to hoard whatever remains left in the pump.
Photos shared to social media show some filling up buckets and giant barrels under the cover of darkness, angering those behind them who had been waiting for hours to fill up their own vehicles.

Think "carnival goldfish", but with about 10 gallons of gasoline instead.
Good luck getting that out of the trunk... or into your gas tank.
The next step is for some fool to fill their plastic bed liner straightaway, sans containers.
