We went down to Ft Myers yesterday. Once there, we noticed that there was no gas to be found at the stations we went past. Luckily, we were able to get down there and back without having to refuel.

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.
One year ago, gas was $1.72 a gallon. Now it is $2.87. Thank you, *.

Just a start. Next someone will want to take over control of our fuel.

Sam's always has long lines, same at Costco. If people would stop panic buying we would be much better off, did you notice that you can get all the TP you want now .

The topper offers are the problem.
They top off every time they leave the house....creating lines for no reason and distorting real demand/need.

The pipeline only affects the panhandle. You are correct with the rest of Florida receiving their fuel from the coast.

Electric golf cart. That's why I said that my golf cart would see some mileage put on it. But, thanks.

no.or maybe yes. My hubs was planning to drive to New Orleans late Thurs afternoon, BUT, we were told late Wed, that TLH, PNS, and MOB were all already low on gas. Now, you really don't know that you can trust main stream media or any other of the goof balls , SO, we just decided to make it easy on us, and we booked him an airline ticket, hotel with free pick up, uber to pick him up and take him to pick up the family car to use for the weekend. It may be uber, or a family member that takes him back to his airport hotel that will provide the shuttle to get him back to the airport tomorrow. So all we had to worry about was enough gas to get him to MCO and back, from his flight
