I went to three gas stations in Columbus, OH and none of them had premium..my dad said that there are going to be a LOT of gas shortages coming so fill up while you can 🤷♀️
I have 25 gallons stored right now and someone brought up a good point which if it's stored more than a couple of weeks you should use a gas stabilizer.
Always use gasoline stabilizer fluid if you store gasoline for more than a few weeks. Gasoline is hydrogoscopic and leeches water out of the air even inside a sealed container. Also it, when in a stored state, forms a kind of waxy material . That's why your weed-eater won't start after you stored it over the winter without draining the fuel and blowing out the carburetor. Gasoline with ethanol is the worst for storage. Never store it, even in your automobile if the car sits for a few weeks without running.
Two week ago our daughter and family drove from Paso Robles, CA to Fresno to catch a United flight to Denver. 30 minutes prior to departure they were told the flight was canceled. Reason: there was NO Jet A available to fuel their plane!
They had to drive back through Paso to San Luis Obispo to catch a flight.
Be prepared for Propane shortages too. The propane producers are cutting back and have shorted the deliveries of BBQ propane tanks, etc. This winter will see some real serious propane shortages for folks who have those 1000 gallon tanks to heat the house with.
I quit using propane for heating a few years ago when I had a solar water heating system put up on the roof of the house and the barn. The circulating pumps and fans (for the radiators) run on the solar electric panels and battery bank.
Natural gas piped to a house will be the next casualty of the DS fuckery "because of COVID, etc".
Thanks. We do use propane to heat and we live in the front range of the Rockies so cold winters. Luckily we have an efficient fireplace more wood than we can burn cut and stacked. Lots of solar here since CO is one of the sunniest states

I live in an apartment otherwise I’d definitely stock up at least to drive a few hundred miles if SHTF

Nothing out of the ordinary in Illinois so far.
Wow it's almost 4 dollars in some places here!! I lived in Asheville for 12 years

Maybe that’s why all the planes were cancelling flights 🤔

Only store non ethanol ! Ethanol gas goes bad, fast!
Not possible in many places, I have to drive two states away to even find ethanol-free gasoline.
Wow, no idea.. most stations have where I am at.
