Default Gas lines

I drove north up 441/27 today and noticed that the gas station at the corner of Rt.42 an Rt.441 had a line of cars wrapped around the corner and up 441 for about 1/4 mile. Had to be over an hour wait as people were sitting there with their doors cracked open. Apparently they turn their cars off to prevent running out of gas and opened their doors to prevent heat build up in their cars. I was so completely amazed that these people didn't know that if they drove just a half mile further West on Rt.42, the gas station in front of the Mulberry shopping center had no lines and open pumps!

open pumps due to no gas. People were waiting in line in the parking lot next door for a tanker to arrive at that location. I stopped in their yesterday also. Their tanker got diverted to another location

Just drove down Buena Vista and over 466a to Powell and down Powell to 44 then into Wildwood and returned home via 301 north.

Passed at least 5 gas stations none had lines, yes they had gas.

At some point normalcy returns.

I went to Marathon at Pinellas at 6am; there was a couple of other cars and the pumps had gas. I was only there a few minutes and several vehicles started pulling in. I had to go to Leesburg around noon and all stations along 27/441 appeared to have gas with no lines.

It must be people are topping off every time they take their cars out.
