Gas Shortage?
 

In the Charlotte area we are suffering from a gas shortage. On the radio this morning they said the problem is from people filling up even though they have a half tank of gas. The Oil Industry says it will not supply more gas to the area to meet the demand.

What other areas are being affected? Is this affecting your bow hunting?

Nothing like that here in up state NY. Wont affect me, I walk out my back door to hunt and 1/4 driveto other land I hunt.

Nothing like that here either. Gas is slowly, slowly coming down in price.

No, luckily I'm not affected by your particular plight, However I feel for you all down there, its being talked about on the news all the time. But prices of gas have put a pretty good strain on my hunting this year. It's too bad when it becomes such a problem that it hampers us from doing what we love. Luckily even though I live in town i'm not too far from good hunting. danny, hopefully you can save enough to get to work and still go hunting! Lets hope better days are ahead of us!

Sometimes I think people make too much a fuss over things. Yes gas has gotten expensive and causes other things to hike in price too, but it really seems like the general public panics at the slightest hint of anything, even if unfounded. Look at the stock market. It doesn’t take much adjustment to come up with gas money, and ways to streamline your budget for most people. I truly feel for those who are maxed out, but it bugs me when I hear people complain about gas, yet blow money on the DUMBEST things without any thought at all.

OK here in northern KY. Lexington news however had a story about people in TN driving 40-50 miles into KY due to gas shortage there. Gas was $3.49 gal here yesterday.:D

That radio host sounds kind of bogus. What difference does it make if you fill up when your tank is empty or still half full. You still end up consuming the same amountof gas.

Around Fort Bragg we are running out of gas. I had to stop at 4 stations on Sunday before finding one with gas.

When gas starts costing as much/gallon as the beer I drink, then I'll be in trouble.......that would be $9.78/gallon for Summit Extra Pale Ale.

We have a couple of stations that run out, but there are plenty more, and the price is coming down.

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.

I love hunting, but hunting for gas is ridiculous.
