Each car only took less than 5-10 minutes. Lawn guys were the only ones getting more than 5 gallons of gas. Who sits in a line for 15 minutes for a few gallons of gas. It’s the TP mentality all over again.
People have not changed. Panic, to heck with others is sadly normal we see and continue to see it all the time.

According the the news. last night 5/11/21, it is better in Florida than else where.

The,"good old days," I remember the first oil embargo. We lived in an apartment, no option to fill gas cans. I had an air cooled VW the tank is roughly 10 gallons. As I recall the gas stations, directed by government would only sell you on alternate days based on odd or even plates. Oh and they decided you must buy 10 gallons at a time.

May, or may not help. In the past they gave priority to supplying the rest stops on the parkways.

A typical car by design does around 300 miles to the tankful of gas.
