Re: work at convenience/gas store coastal nc. No gas UPDATED
Ain't that some shit. People had begun travelling to coast Easter, having been locked up for a year. Our beach had reservations booked through Oct. People in town, spending money, feeling free, being alive again.

This morn, Corp called, told us, shut off premium. For now we have reg unleaded and diesel fuel. They told us prices would begin climbing and reach $5/gallon quickly. Next larger town ran out of gas by afternoon. Even interstate gas stores. Only ones who will have gas are those who receive from western part of us and any other stores who get east coast deliveries will have to pay top dollar to get oon west coast schedule.

We didn't really think "they" would allow us to live freely, unvaxxed this summer and travel within us by car freely, did we? Stock up on anything you by that travels by gas. Prices are getting ready to skyrocket. Just hit my grocer and bought food at today prices. Tomorrow, who knows?

I've got property rented out through October in Emerald Isle NC, where along the NC coast are you at?

Never mind, I see you are at Holden, beautiful area.
 Quoting: OU8122


I used to love going to the beach music festival at Emerald Isle! We are a small beach, and working at the corner store, I hear about everything. I am off tomorrow. If the shortage continues I will talk to some of the property managers Wednesday.
This may blow over quickly, I pray it will. But it is all a little too suspicious for my glp enquiring mindohyeah

What's the reasoning behind shutting off premium when you're not out of it?
 Quoting: Monger of Many Things


Policy is too shut off any grade when it reaches below 1000 gallons in order for Corp to take control of the situation, typically suppliers or scheduling. We were alerted that premium was at 1500 gallons yesterday (sunday). Procedure is to email DM and they take it from there.

 Quoting: GA Girl


Yep. And of course I didn’t need it at Sam’s club at 8 am in Atlanta for 2.55, just paid 2.89 in Covington and told my wife after she gets kids get gas and she reported back 2.89 also back home in Dekalb County
 Quoting: wolf7719


At least you got some. People have been saying Ingles are out and several other stations in through Clarkesville, Cleveland, and Cornelia. I filled up a couple nights ago as soon as I heard of the outage, so I'm good for this week, but if this goes into next week I will have to take some vacation towards the end of the week. I have a 40 min drive to work.

after lockdowns this could be another great way to restrict peoples travel plans
 Quoting: T-Man


Also could serve to make further arguments for electric cars.


But remember, Tuesday is the day, after Tuesday if the pipeline issue hasn’t been fixed, THEN expect the pump prices to go insane etc.
there’s no way to know right now.

Just stopped at our local shell, no mid grade or premium. 50 miles south of Nashville,TN
 Quoting: liljohn


There should only be one grade of car gas, it would reduce production costs considerably.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79724041


Nope. I can't put anything but 93 octane in my car.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78334463


In the pipeline, there is only one grade. Additives at the terminal make the 93. Many stations have blending dispensers that mix regular and premium to form the midgrade. You can buy octane booster at any auto parts, WalMart and some gas stations to make 93 octane. Save money too.

Re: work at convenience/gas store coastal nc. No gas UPDATED
If you are not paying attention you would shrug and go on your way. Did we all forget the year long lockdown where the majority of the population stayed home? Who was using all of that fuel? They dumped it into stratigic reserves during lockdown and are now going to capitilize creating a fake scare to increase prices.

Report from SE Michigan, Ann Arbor area.

So prices here were at the $2.59 ish level and jumped to $2.89 in the past week. No issues at all with different grades. Remember, we have a Marathon refinery in Detroit.

Up north where my cabin is....well that's a different story. The prices up there are always a good 10 cents more. Waters, Michigan BP where I fill up is still at $2.56 a gallon for regular.
