Gas Shortage?
#13
They said on the radio, here in Columbia, SC, that we will be in a "shortage" for about 2 weeks. People don't understand that we are doing it to ourselves. People freak out about gas. Relax, get gas only when you need it, and we'll be fine. It's the same when a ice/snow day is forecasted down here...we get that so rarely that people think they're gonna be stuck in their house for 2 weeks and the the GC runs out of milk and bread. Relax!

We had the same problem in Middle TN last week. The thing is, the people panic and constantly top off their cars, which creates a short-term shortage in the gas. The stations will not increase supply to the stations beyond what they would normally supply, but they will be replinished. The panic will pass and you guys will be restored in a few days.
I nearly missed bow season due to idiots in Nashville doing the same thing. Gas stations had lines down the street with moms in minivans waiting to get gas. I was worried I wasn' going to be able to refill before the season opened. Luckily we got some in the nick of time.
