Brother a long haul driver for past 30 years, he said don't believe what your seeing. A lot of this is hype bullshit. Pipe line should be back on line in a few days. Prices will spike and some regional supply issues but it's but it's very short term. This will NOT reach toilet paper levels.
In Florida every time a hurricane threatens to hit there is always a couple days of panic buying that leads to line at the pumps.
Back in the 70's, after the Carter fuel shortages, my dad buried a 2000 gallon tank in the backyard and filled it with Diesel for the cook stove and heater. He had a intermediary tank that fuel would be pumped into when it got low. When he died, we had to remove it very hush hush. Would not have been good for EPA to get wind of that.
My daughter’s fiancé is a long distance truck driver also, but really just started. I just asked her if they are seeing any issues with gas at truck stops, and she said no, not yet anyway. They were headed to Texas, but don’t know where they’ll go from there.
Natural news mentioned that since they can’t pump the oil, the refineries shut down. So even if the pipeline opens up, there’ll still be a delay. Not sure how accurate. Just relaying some info.

Oh trust me I don't and I know *Biden is not really in control either. One year ago people were frantically buying toilet paper and now it's gas.

we overflowed our reserves last year with Trump.

You're correct it's going to take a few weeks for refineries to get back online and start processing raw crude oil
whether its hype or hoax, either way, there could be shortages and if not shortages a big jump in prices....
I say....buy up on sale...keep your car filled....etc etc....that way the shortages/price increases will not hit you so hard.
