OK. Dallas has almost no gasoline. Long lines with long waits.

[flamin lib]

Anybody else seeing this?

[herding cats]

1. It was the same in west Austin today.

I barely got gas before they ran out.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That happened everywhere during the '70s -

Long lines at gas stations, assuming they had any gas at all. It sucked. Sorry you're having to go through that (again, for some people).

3. This is ridiculous!

We are NOT going to run out of GAS!

I blame ol' pointy boots for freaking out the public... Mighty fine job you are doing there Mr. Energy! ARG! On the way home I stopped off to get some ice ( my ice maker went out ) and I witnessed two older men going to blows over the last amount of GAS! GOOD GAWD! WTF??

I'll bet you anything in a day or two everything will go back to normal yes, the price of gas will be increased by 10-15 cents... but dosen't it always around Labor Day?

UGH. Ol' Tricky Rick needs to get back on the horn and tell people to STOP FREAKING OUT!

4. Yes

I have family in Dallas and they have said there are long lines and some gas stations are closed.

5. Not much in Houston, either.

I've got to run to the airport to pick up my wife on Saturday. She was supposed to fly back from Minneapolis last Sunday night.
I filled up before the storm hit, and haven't driven twenty miles in the last week.

6. Prices are up in Florida 10-25 cents over night

Tv had report going to be several weeks before oil rigs in gulf up to speed

[Docreed2003]

7. Gas in our area has gone from 2.07 Monday to 2.30-2.59 today!

This is a Nashville suburb. Several places are "out of gas"

[LeftInTX]

8. Outta gas in San Antonio

Only 2/9 stations that I saw had any. And they had very long lines.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I belong to GasBuddy - and users are reporting which stations are open and which have fuel

10. Same on Ft Worth side.

11. It's panic.

And gas will start to be available after the weekend like normal.

It's like a run on the banks during the crash. Everyone thought, "God have to have gas." Even though they didn't need any with a 3/4 full tank. And sat in a long line to get it.

It'll settle down. Too bad it had to happen on a holiday weekend when people might want to drive someplace.

QT has been very smart shutting off half the stations so that the other half can continue to have gas. You can check the availability at their website updated daily or download an app to your smartphone that has real time availability.

13. That is a big cause of the lines

People aren't getting full tanks or even half tanks. Their topping off every say for fear they will run out. And makes for long lines.

[LeftInTX]

12. Abbott says, "We have a bunch of gasoline coming in"

"Get out of the road and let the tankers in".

Yeah right. That is a load of baloney!!

There are only 3 gas stations around me that have gas. They all have 90 plus minute waits.
I'm hoping the Wal Mart near me gets gas this evening. They currently are out. Wal Mart has the safest waiting scenario. Otherwise, cars are blocking busy roads.
