Gas insanity has arrived in NC
I went to my favorite taco truck that parks by a gas station. Lines were out of the lot and in the road. Drove by a few other gas stations all were covered up with people in lines or were out of gas, it was like back in the 70's. Thanks to our Governor who is a libtard POS this is happening.
I sat on a pick-nick table with some Mexican guys and practiced my spainish(which is not too bad) and waited for a fight to start over getting gas. But it didn't happen. One of the guys was the owner of a sprinkler installation business and he also does landscaping. He asked me if I needed a job or knew anyone who needed work. He said he cannot get people to work for him because they are getting paid to stay home. I had to turn him down and tell him I didn't know anyone looking but would keep him in mind.
But
The Tacos were OUTSTANDING! I ate 3 Taco lengua's and I drank a Tecate that was ice cold😋
I didn't need gas because I filled up on Sunday like I normally do.

I tanked up today! The big Ingles grocery store in Marshall had gas at noon. Not a bad line either.
But, by 2 pm it was all gone! The little Mom n Pop gas station had gas this afternoon, 35 cars in line. Long long wait.

Well......they used really big guys with huge arms that manually worked the pumps in the pipelines.
When I was a LOT younger I worked the wobble pump at my grandparents general store to pump gas into a glass bowl over the pump that had graduations for the amount of gas. One flavor only.

Was that in the Model T days?

That little baby trailer will not hold all that fuel. Looks like four 55 gallon drums. I hope he was only going a few hundred yards!

Looked again, looks like FIVE 55 gallon drums. That's a LOT of weight for that small trailer!

Tiny trailer,5-55 gallon drums of gasoline, I.Q. of 13. What could go wrong?

I think you need a permit to haul that much gas. And it won't let you haul it like that.

Sam06, Did you see on FOX news tonight the pic & story about the guy that was carrying gas cans in the back of his Hummer? Burnt to the ground. 😲

Knuckle heads also around here, filling trash bags with gasoline. Morons aplenty.
When this country really hits bottom folks will eat each other. Zombie attack is almost here.

It only took the Pretendident 100 days to go from energy independence to gas lines. Throw in 50%+ price increases on all metals, wood, ammo, and guns. He's also managed to go from full employment to soaring unemployment numbers despite "Now Hiring" signs everywhere. I won't even mention the Mexican border, imminent war in the Mideast, or saber rattling from China and North Korea.
I work part time with a friend who owns a HVAC business............all of the copper that we cut out on the jobs used to just get thrown in the back of the truck or in the trash. .............until I found out that copper is $4.75/lb.............now I collect it all and throw it in a bucket................when I get 50 lbs or so, I will buy a new gun.

I would drive a tesla too, if I had $120,000 to spare on a CAR 🥺. The tesla will help, but will NOT help the TRUCKS deliver EVERYTHING that people need/want to survive. I plan on working until I get to 50% fuel left in my vehicles, then gonna burn leave. I'm keeping enough to get around in case of emergency.
How do you think the power to fuel that TESLA is generated? It doesn't come out of Uncle Jo Biden's ass..........it;s generated at coal fired power plants.....and as the production line goes, there is a loss of efficiency as it goes down-stream.

I saw the Hummer burned up cbxjeff and I thought to myself only someone dumb enough to have a Hummer would do that.
As far as the trailer guy is concerned if I saw that I would call the State Patrol. I am not usually a rat but that would bring it out in me. I see the SP pulling over trucks all the time they need to crack down on idiots like that. Not only is that dangerous and far exceding the weight of that trailer but its an environmental nightmare waiting to happen. Imagine if that trailer lost a tire and flipped, all that gas would be on the ground. The clean up cost would be over 1/2 a million dollars.

Clean up?
Just stand back and throw a match on it. Don't forget to take video . . . from behind the match thrower.

Just filled up here in Wilmington, N.C. $2.85. My guess is that will be cheap next year.

I KNOW how the power is generated to charge the Tesla. I would STILL buy an electric vehicle IF I had the EXTRA money. They are fast and powerful. Not a liberal tree hugger, simply appreciate enhancements. Ford is going to produce an electric F150 and I would LOVE to have one IF I had the EXTRA money. Why not? I would not depend on any electric vehicle for my ONLY vehicle. I do NOT have that kind of cash to blow, so I do not own one. And for the record, I am 100% pro coal, nuclear, hydro, etc....EXCEPT solar and wind. Those last 2 kill WAY more than they produce and cause issues when its time to replace them. Not exactly sure what you were trying to say above, so i tried to cover it all 😁

Prices have dropped a few cents around here

No shortages here in Missouri, but I did pay $3.40/gallon two days ago.
0 -
yea, fuel is back here too. Just the prices did NOT go down....even AFTER the Gov removed the 28 cents per gallon tax. NONE of the stations went down in price at ALL, much less 28 cents! I'm afraid the high prices are going to stay for a while. Then when it drops back to 2.75 a gallon, they can say "Look how much we cut the costs of fuel for you!"🤬

Just thinking a bit about electric cars. I have always been a USED car\truck buyer. Saved a great deal of money on the out the lot depreciation factors.
I kind of wonder what buying a used electric car having those used batteries would mean. Very expensive replacements would make such a deal not much of a savings buying used. ?????????????

It is still a little hit or miss here in the Raleigh NC area. Some stations only have high test other none and some have nothing but Diesel.

Yea, battery replacement will be a HUGE expense. Prob not a good idea to buy a used one. At least not one over about 6 yrs old. I THINK the batteries should last about 10 years, if properly used.
