I just got in a few minutes ago, the stations still look crowded as Hell.

I wasn't able to get out and get some ass tonight, but I was lucky enough to see a tanker truck pull into a station and was in and out in just a few minutes. My penis is so jealous. And if the tanker trucks are still coming in, there isn't any significant shortage. It just a panic spike in demand.
I think this is largely self inflicted. People panicked and caused the gas shortage themselves.

I am looking at Gas Buddy tracker and many areas I looked at last night while searching for a gas station for Analeese above, that didn't have gas then now do have gas, including stations in Addison.

I was able to gas up this morning at a RaceTrac. They seem to be getting gas fairly consistently. I used the Gas Buddy tracker.

I've been though gas shortages before when I lived overseas. I'd suggest that you go out and get enough grocery shopping to get through one to two weeks, just in case.

I drove by one station this morning, still out of gas. while I agree this shortage was self-inflicted, the media and Government officials were behind the curve.. I had heard nothing late morning yesterday, but I observed several stations backed up with cars, and that told me I needed to act.. "what did they hear that I didn't"? meanwhile I was listening to news radio, not a word about shortages, nothing about lines forming.

this morning the RR Commissioner was on the radio, he made a lot of sense, and said the crisis should resolve in days.. but the Wednesday night newspaper reports of fuel shortages looming should have been responded to immediately.
We temporarily lost a small fraction of our refining and distribution capacity and people reacted as though we lost all ability to obtain fuel for the next month LOL.

No lines, people going crazy, and all gas stations have fuel......all the way out in Weatherford.

The dallas and surrounding area seems to be the only area it's affecting. Lol. Must be like a flash mob affect.
Plenty of open pumps at 5am

Those same gas stations that were dry yesterday around 8:24 pm when I checked the tracker and then some of them had gas this morning at 7:40 am when I checked the tracker again are now out of gas again.

the Valero at Maham and 75 still had gas just a few minutes ago. I filled up....had to wait about 15 minutes or so.
