Gas Shortage Hits Widespread in Multiple States, Pumps Running Dry!
Gas Shortage Hits Widespread In Multiple States, Pumps Running Dry!
The High Country is expected to be impacted by a gas shortage, joining other areas along the east coast.
“We received a delivery of 5,000 gallons an hour ago (about 1 p.m.), and we’ve already sold 1,000 gallons,” said Emily Ham, a gas attendant at the Quality Plus gas station in West Jefferson, on Sunday, Sept. 18. “So we’ll be out soon, and we’ve been told that another delivery is not guaranteed.”
According to Ham, when Quality Plus does eventually get more gasoline, it will be more expensive at the pump, though the exact increase is difficult to determine at this time.
“My supervisor told me that this could impact us for up to a month,” Ham said.
The recent gas shortage isn’t just isolated to Quality Plus or the High Country; the entire East Coast is projected to be impacted, particularly North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia.
The cause of the shortage is a leak that has closed a crucial pipeline that carries gasoline to the eastern United States.

This can not be a genuine crisis. I’m not saying it isn’t a real event but it must be something other than an “actual” accident/attack. Just Google “average daily gasoline consumption in the USA”…….you will find the figure is about 384.74 million gals./day……divide this figure into the reported 250,000 gals. supposedly lost in the spill, multiply by 100 to acquire the percentage and you get ” .064978 %”. LESS THAN 1% of our average DAILY consumption was lost. This is not sufficient to constitute a “State of Emergency”……..clearly this is a false pretense for some bogus regional event. What are they trying to draw attention away from ? Something nefarious in the works ?
It does seem to be an on going situation because of a diverting line being worked out while repairs are being made. Hopefully it is just as reported and I have to eat my above comment……I’ve eaten crow pie before.
