My nearby gas station has been out of fuel for 2 days. Another sign of collapse or just bad planning on their logistics ?
Outages are likely to be regional. I suspect more rural/out of the way regions will face outages, whereas cities and other regions with robust logistics networks will likely just face increased gas prices.
The ovservable effect for most citizens will likely not be fuel outages, but the knock-on effects (higher shipping prices and higher prices for virtually everything)
This is the sort of logical take that I’m surprised hasn’t been downvoted to hell here
In SoCal, no empty stations, but 6.59 reg, 8.59 diesel 😓
It’s at $12 here in Northern Europe…
Sure, but don’t you actually have other ways to get around?
Depends where you live but it’s mostly in larger cities and connecting larger cities. If you live outside them, you still need one or two cars. Distances may be shorter though. I have 20 minutes to work but no option for public transport
A gallon, or a liter? Mine is in gallons 😅. Sorry!
Yeah I have translated the local price to $/gal
It’s approx. 10-11€ ($11-12) per gallon in Germany aswell. 2,20-2,30€ per liter.
8,73€ for a gallon where we go in Maasmechelen, we live near the Belgium (and German) border. 1,86€ per liter at the moment. The Netherlands is mostly the same or more expensive than Germany.
I recall the Germans getting diesel in the Netherlands and we went to Germany for E10, 20 years ago.
Anyway, US prices are still cheap compared to ours. Even less expensive than our gas prices decades ago.
NC and no stations have been out near me
I filled up yesterday in Dallas. Almost no line at Costco and below $4.
Tx has cheap gas !
Yeah, it’s down a dollar in the last few weeks. I’m sure it’s something artificial to make people think, “hey, everything is ok.”
Price for gas here dropped 70 cents as the mid terms approached. I’m sure it’ll go back up after.
It’s expensive as fuck but it hasn’t run out here. Yet.
Judging by the comments, sounds like bad planning and logistics. I’m in Wyoming and we’ve never been out. Prices though…
Diesel\Heating Oil is worrisome because we need it and propane to survive winter emergencies
