bulm540 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Damn, I was planning on going to Ky to shoot a match but had to cancel due to scarcity of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Now that is just unconscionable. I don't mind a little global warming or the occasional corrupt politician or greedy corporate financial institutions wrecking the economy but when a man can't buy enough gasoline to get to a shooting match, well, that just ain't right. Why is there no gas in Nashville??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JQ- Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Maybe they got the winds we did her in Cinti...people still don't have power...70+ mph winds. Our old forests aren't too keen on that stuff - trees and power lines down for days. And this was all in 70 degree weather and mostly sunny. No rain mostly bright sun and massive wind.

SLM Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Two days ago my girlfriend tried to get gas at two different PB stations just outside Cleveland, Ohio and they were both out. Oddly enough prices here (about an hour south of Cleveland) are dropping to pre-Ike prices. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there no gas in Nashville??? Sopposedly teh Colonial pipeline that brings gas to teh Mid TN area is only running at 25% plus people ( panickng) filling every available container ( coffee cups.). Well I guess I'll work on the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We cannot let this disrupt the state match next weekend. There is gas available in Memphis. If things have not returned to normal by then, I can drive my Expedition to Dickson on Friday night and pick up as many as five NTPS shooters. If you can't get here any other way, organize it and e-mail me. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I work Nashville and the worst night was Friday, we had fights, a stabbing and lines of cars from the gas stations going out into the roadway. People would jump in front of the line like they are at the lunch line in high school. Just think how the fine folks here Nash Vegas reacts to this, wait till something big happens. We had one lady actual get pi** off because TDOT only but 1 Gallon of gas in her car and that was free. I hate people that are why I work a K-9.

Front Man Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Read this afternoon that North Carolina is running ito a gas shortage. Don't know the severity or how true it is. High prices and a shortage are a true nightmare. FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It is very hard to get gas in Atlanta too. I was in South Carolina all week and gas is everywhere there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holshot Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 In Charlotte and areas south, there are fights at the pump, people being arrested, etc. There are people following the tanker around to get gas where he pulls in. I was allowed $20 worth today and all they had was premium so I waited in line for less than 5 gallons. Makes you think about just how vulnerable we are both as a country and as individuals.

Viggen Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 What the heck is happening in your part of the world for the gas to be drying up? Aren't they able to adjust prices to adjust the demand (woops, I forgot, the elections are just around the corner.) Better no gas, cheap, then plenty of gas with higher prices I suppose - for election time. The price drops here in the west have been dramatic but the supply has been fine. After the elections I would expect a nice jump up in prices and, in your area, an abundance of product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Just when we that the scarcity was over, here in Augusta , GA stations with gas are far and few between. I think I will use what gas I have left in the tank to go to local match tomorrow, and worry about how to get to work Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Funny Corey, But Aside from the normal occasional bouts of GAS, you're thinking about HOT AIR until next Saturday a week. See you then, and NO I don't live anywhere near there. (Thank GOD) Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
