Yes, I am going to go hunting. For gas that is.
The gas shortage here in Georgia is bad. Really bad. People are following tanker trucks around to their destination to get gas. People are running out and are stranded on the Atlanta roads. The HERO units are out putting gas in peoples tanks to get them going again. If you can find gas, there are long lines out into the road to get it.
We live an hour from Atlanta. Hopefully, that is an advantage. I have to go out now and try and find premium and fill the five gallon gas can for Ians car. I will take the old truck as it drinks regular, which if I find, I will fill up the truck with. He may be having to use the old truck to get back and forth to work since regular is about all you can find now.
So far the schools are still in session, but for how long. News reports say that gas won't be coming in steady until October 13. That is a long time away.
We are supposed to go to the Georgia National Fair like we always love to do in October. Its coming up this coming week. I wonder how many will be able to make it. I am wondering if we will find the gas to go.

Are you serious that people are following the tankers?? Of course you are but that is unreal. We aren't having any shortage here (yet) and the prices are still fairly low. Good luck, that is awful you even have to do this today.

Wow, that is awful, not to mention scary. I had no idea it was that bad. I think I'd be saving my gas for essential trips like work. I wonder if it will make its way up here soon....
Good luck with your hunt, Kelly!

Good luck. It is easing up around here. Still crazy though.

I never really thought about it because we have gas, but you're right I wonder how long that will last. You're like people from Tenn they've been driving to Kentucky to get gas some said they drove over an hour one way just to find some. That is so crazy to me.
IF we run out here my son will be in trouble because he goes to college in the city. I guess he could sleep on the couch of someone up there IF he had to and walk to the school, but I don't see how some would be able to go.
Good luck on your adventure. You should take a camera and record where you have to go to find gas.
Take care, Chrissie
The only grade of gas you can get here is regular and you are lucky if you find that. Ken says it looks odd to see cadillacs putting in regular. I hope you will be able to go to that fair. Hugs, Helen
we are having the exact same problems here. it is so bad. we wer given the same time for relief. I will surprised if we make it much longer with the schools open..
take care and good luck
