Who has got gas?

[TreeFrog]

I'm driving to Atlanta on Friday. I'm hoping to arrive there with about half a tank, so I can make it back to where there's gas on my way home.

Has anyone heard how the situation is in Dothan, Eufala, and Columbus?

I'm assuming that by the time I get to Newnan, the Atlanta shortages will be showing up.

Did I miss something? I was out of pocket this weekend, why is Atlanta and Nashville out of gas. There is no shortage here, prices have even started to come back down.

Atlanta's pipeline comes directly from Houston. The other problem has to due with the EPA standards enforced here to the horrible air quality. Our gov. just got the ok from the Feds to use "dirter running" fuel, until our pipeline is back up to capacity. This should take place within the next 3 to 5 days.

Also, there is a panic mentality and people are topping off at every opportunity. I found a station this morning and filled up. There were lines. For the most part everyone was well behaved. Although, the manager had to come out and break up a few shouting matches before they became full blown smack downs. Damn line jumpers. :roll:

It's a freakin' mess up here, and I can't figure out for the life of me why it is, except for panic buying.

I have about a hundred miles left in my tank, and I'm 7 miles from work. If there is no gas when I get low, screw it. I'm not going to wait in line. I have a bike.

TreeFrog, I wish you well on your trip. We're usually not completely crazy up here...

I'm planning on heading up to Athens for the UGA Blackout Bama game, gonna strap a couple gas cans on top of the ol' VW Bus and brave the mess. Really hope I can get back home...

It's gonna be a crap shoot. Not good news. It's about the same there as it is here in the Atlanta area. I'll try and give you a status report early Friday. Maybe the "dirty" gas shipments will be here by then.

Thanks so much, GTTBM! I'll have my crackberry on the road, so I'll be able to check your update.
