    So I am in DFW for work.
    I know that everyone here has gone crazy and started to buy up fuel like it's the apocolypse.

    San Antonio and Austin are following in those footsteps apparently.

    Is this just limited to the central and eastern portion of the state?

    Was hoping to venture west towards Amarillo but I am not so sure that'd be wise given the "panic".

    Anyone towards Whichita Falls? San Angelo? Lubbock?

    I took a trip to OK and back to DFW yesterday. OK gas was significantly cheaper and no one at the pumps. As soon as we drove into Tarrant County (Fort Worth) there were massive lines and the farther we drove south into Fort Worth, all the stations were out of gas. No shortage, just everyone panicking filling up every jar they have....

    Prices are going up all over the country from the hurricane damage to the refineries out there. Hopefully it's temporary. Jumped up about 10-15c/gallon here in California since yesterday

    if you read up on whats going on, it'll be over by Wed 9/6 most likely. Just need to divert a bit more supply to this area. People here are so nice, but DUMB.

    Up by 23 cents in NH. I read yesterday that things should be back to normal by the end of September. I'm holding off filling my oil tank until then. Hopefully I don't live to regret that decision, but it should be fine.

    Not sure how I managed to, but I hadn't received a single notification of anything posted here.

    None. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

    Thanks for the feedback anyways.
