    I’m fortunate enough to work 3 miles from home, so a tank last me for a few weeks if I’m not out running around to much. I guess I’ll top off on the way home just in case.

      Great

        That will impact poor folks and minorities the most.

        The same people who, overwhelmingly, vote for liberals.

          I filled up today at a QT in Round Rock with no issues. Plenty of empty pumps so no waiting in line.

            That's usually the way it goes, blows my mind how trained these sheep are.

              Murphys in N Austin off Lake Creek out of Ethanol free...all pump handles were bagged. Premium fuels were out too. Regular and diesel were good.

              I noticed since the ice storm Murphys went back to $100 cap on single dispense.

                I'm not discounting this statement, but these are the types of post that get us in the situation to begin with.

                If everyone just goes on as normal the supplies will catch back up.. It takes time! There was a whole week where fuel trucks could not reach stations and refineries had to cut back or shut down, so this is to be expected and is temporary.

                I'm just happy that there is starting to be life in the ammo section at Academy again, but now there won't be because i said something...

                That being said I just filled up the wife's car, my 2 trucks, Polaris, 4wheeler, zero-turn, every fuel can and a trashcan...

                  I don't work at a refinery but a chemical plant and we are still making repairs to our plant from the freeze. I think the refineries are in the same shape from the lack of flares and steam seen in the plants.

                        No changes at all around here! Probably `15 empty pumps out of 16 right by our house at Exxon when i drove by it 10 minutes ago.

                          I just had my first day off since the freeze this past weekend, no end in sight.

                              Premium and mid grade were out at HEB in Dripping Springs yesterday. I heard it was diesel that there was supposed to be a shortage of.

                                There is also the issue of the Microsoft Hack, causing many computer systems to be shut down. My wifes hospital system was completely shut down today due to the hack/virus.
