I'm still looking for news from Dothan, Eufaula, and Columbus.

Anyone?

I *suspect* that Dothan, and possibly Eufala, are supplied by the same barges we are, so they may be ok. Columbus, on the other hand, is most likely pipeline-fed as is Atlanta, so they may have issues.

On edit: Just spoke with a friend in Columbus, he said they are not having any shortages.

I you think it's bad in Atlanta try being here in Nashville. The pipeline runs South to North and after the Metro Atlanta area finishes draining the pipe all that's left here is a mere trickle. We may be reduced to pouring our local products (Jack Daniels and George Dickel) in the tank.

Columbus is not one of the GA counties required to use the special GA low-sulfur gasoline, giving them more supply options. And who knows, the Phenix City stations may get theirs from a different supply chain, being in AL.

I'm really interested in the status in Columbus/Phenix, because even if Atlanta is locked up solid, if I leave Columbus full, I can get to Atlanta and back to Columbus on the same tank.
 
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?
Ditto us.

The shortage has not effected us in Sowal...still plenty of gas and relatively reasonable priced.
Thanks for the info. So if we can fill up here before we leave, we should be okay.

That makes me feel better!

Does Florida (and other nearby states) have a law that you can only change the price once in 24 hours (to shut down price wars)?

GA does, if a gas station raises it's prices more than once in a 24 hour period they can be reported to the State of Georgia and they can be subject to fines, etc.

My buddy in North Carolina called to say she is heading here tomorrow. No gas up there in Franklin, Asheville area. She finally found some in Ellijay, but had a $20. limit and could not fill up the gas cans she had with her for the mower and 4 wheeler.

Once you get to Alabama, it seems like there isn't much of a gas shortage. So, because of the gas shortage up there, one of our hens, LabLady...aka Crazy K, is coming home!! :clap:
