Some stations are limiting, too. Which fuels, so to speak, the feeling of scarcity.

I remember those days! I used to have to go fill up my parents’ car for them. (Their VW Thing. LOL.)

There is a Colonial depot about 15 miles away from me in Belton SC.


There is no gas to pump in my town. As soon as I heard of the ransomware on Saturday, I went out and filled both tanks.

Raining very hard and windy right now . . . I did not fill up my cans for our house generator

It’s what I learned to drive on. Breaking and accelerating were just leisurely suggestions. It had a regular Beetle engine. Such a funny car. But, it sparked my love of convertibles.

And, yes, JST, you are sitting pretty right now! (Glad the ex has an EV, in case this goes on awhile...)

Get a siphon?

I topped off on Saturday, too...I have not set up the generator I just bought. And probably have 1.5 gallons in the can for the mower...
