Quite a few stations running out around here. But they seem to be getting filled back up today.

When I left for work last night, 2 of the 3 gas stations between me and the interstate were closed, with plastic bags over the pump handles, and the 3rd one was open but only had premium. So I got enough to get to work and back and then this morning on the way home, they were all open with all grades of gas, so I went ahead and filled up. I guess their tanker trucks came late last night or early this morning to fill them up.

I talked to a guy I work with, he said the MCX on base was out too.

I haven't been back out, but I talked to my wife earlier and she said she wasn't able to fill her car up cause the station limited them to $20 and it was the only one with fuel.

Thanks for all of the congrats. Yes, we are very much enjoying being a Pa and a Mo Mo...lol

I've noticed a few stations around here are now out of fuel. Hopefully this will be over in a day or two. I knew something wasn't right when I saw some stations raising prices as much as $0.25 on Sunday. Yep, nothing like a little price gouging.

Be Good!
