Yesterday we had to go to two gas stations to get gas. Should have warned daughter because she was on empty (bad thing to do nowadays). She went to her usual station at 10th and 75/85, and they were out. She went to the next one at Spring and North Avenue -- they were out. She asked me what to do. I said, "Whatever you do, don't get on the interstate. Just drive down North and check every station you find." Every station on North was out. She turned on North Highland (bad idea) but found a station that had gas.

And here I sit almost on empty myself and I have to drive to Atlanta and back. Hope I get gas. ;-) :bang:

Are any of you experiencing gas shortages where you live?

Nashville is a zoo. No gas anywhere, people are acting crazy. I did talk to a friend who said there are three barges sitting on the cumberland river in Nashville being offloaded, but the problem is as soon as a staion gets the gas all the people flock to it and they are out in hours. If people keep behaving this way this could go on for weeks.

Nashville probably has those same archaic price gouging laws in effect. If they would let the price move up to slow the demand the whole thing would fix itself in a day or two.

Just got back from Paxton today....only one station in FLorala had gas, premium and it was a 10 gallon maximum. From Freeport to Paxton, gas prices started at 3.95 a gal. I gassed up in Seagrove, I think it was 3.71 a gal! A bargain, believe it or not!

What's the scoop on gas down there today? I was thinking of coming down (from Atlanta) this weekend, but didn't want to be stuck with no gas down there for the trip home.

Is is still hard to find gas? Are there long lines like here in Atl?

Did I miss something? I was out of pocket this weekend, why is Atlanta and Nashville out of gas. There is no shortage here, prices have even started to come back down.
