re: #284 Dave In Austin

Gail just got home from work and tells me there is a run on fuel in the Austin area. Damn it. There is no need for this.

Could be one of two things.
1. People going into panic mode and topping off to make sure they have fuel.
or (and I really hope this isn’t the case)
2. Scumbags are buying gas (in quantities) to take down to Houston to sell at exorbitant prices. Want 5 gallons of gas? That will be $100.00 (or more dollars) and we keep the jug.

#1 I can understand with the refineries shut down. #2 just makes me sick.
