Where Has All the Gas Gone?
I live in Alabama and we’ve been having lots of problems finding gas lately. We had to drive to four different stations the other night before we found one that had any gas. They only had premium, but at least it was something.
My husband said he’s heard this is only a problem for people in the south east. He has a friend that said his brother in law drives a gas truck and that they have gas available, just aren’t handing it out. Makes no sense to any of us. What are they saving the gas for?
At first it was because of the storm. They were only able to work at half capacity or something is what we were told. But now it’s supposed to be better. I did see a news report that one station had gas, but had put up signs saying they were out, because the corporate office said he couldn’t sell it…the price on the pump wouldn’t go up high enough!
Hopefully they’ll get this fixed soon. I wonder how many people are missing work in the south because they can’t get enough gas to make it back and forth.
Are you having this problem where you live?
