I used to work at an oil terminal where we took in the colonial pipeline. Colonial was a part of my life for 10 years. The amount of product that came through that line is unimaginable. The fact that it’s down is going to cause some major problems. I just hope they don’t hit the Harbor Pipeline too… that would be even worse. Hopefully they figure this shit out and fix this shit. Trump needs to come back ASAP. This entire country is turning into a giant joke.

I heard this doesn't really affect the pumps because colonial isn't a large supplier to gas stations but still pretty fooked up SRS.
It supplies 40% of ALL fuel and natural gas needs for the East Coast. 17 States affected.
However, it shouldn't hurt FL too much b cause we get most of our fuel straight from the Gulf thru the Tampa/St Pete refineries.
As far as I know, there's only one pipe in the Colonial Pipeline that comes down into FL, and it's not very large in circumference. Not as large as the rest of the Colonial Pipeline outside FL.
Racetrack, Circle K, BP, Exxon, etc ALL get most of their fuel from Tampa/St Pete refinery stations. Those companies sell the most fuel in this state.
But, prices are gonna go up because, you know, Communism.
17 states, you say. Hmm.
I lived in Alaska when Obama was in office, right before I left gas was in the 5.75 to 6.00 range. I keep trying to tell people were heading right back to the Obama days but potentially even worse.
