East Coast Gas Shortage

The governor of Alabama has declared a state of emergency due to the gas line breakage and has frozen fuel prices. $1.84 today in Anniston area. Media here said there will be no shortage and lines should be repaired next week.

This is just another media scam for price gouging and hype. Prices in Nashville jumped from 1.89 up to 3.49 at one shell station, and all the Television heads are screaming about the end of the world. Gas station linez a block long. 10 miles out the road prices are 1.89. We are in a cg in Nashville with half a tank, almost enough to get home. Reservations paid up till next week. BTW, after the panic, the media is now saying that the crisis will be over next week and there will be plenty.

how come ?when there stuff breaks,I gotta pay for the repair, they don,t pay for mine. just a rant,

Supplies seem to be good so far in western NC. I expect rising prices will temper demand enough to stave any significant shortages. The problem will likely not be supply as much as the costs to transport that supply by truck instead pipeline. Repairs are expected to be completed in a week or so anyway.

Not today in Middle Georgia but who knows.
