Anyone coming to coastal NC this weekend to boat better -
1. Have enough fuel in their vehicle to get here AND back
2. Fuel boat at home
Most everywhere is out of ethanol fuel, now folks are putting the non-e in their cars so that will be (or is) gone. Worst part is that it will be low priority to restock when the gas does start flowing again. Be lucky to have it available again by Memorial Day weekend (just my opinion).

Georgia gov just suspended tax on gasoline and waived weight limits on fuel trucks. I’m out of the country working so I’m not sure what supplies and prices are doing back home I suspect it’s going up. Even tho all of our gas in coastal Georgia comes off a boat not out of the pipe line. I told the wife to fill her car up Saturday when I flew out hopefully she did she is bad about driving around until it’s on fumes.

The pipeline is supposed to be back to full capacity by the weekend but would expect residual delays with distribution.
My local 10 bay Wawa is still going strong and no lines.
I hope all NC stations are back and operating by the time I get down there with my boat on June 19th.

Don't worry the 2.7 trillion dollar infrastructure bill they're going to try to pass will cover just about everything. The amount of money that is actually going to be used for infrastructure is so minut it's a joke. Money should be used to make sure something like this never happens again but this administration is too damn stupid to figure it out.

Biden stopped keystone. Maybe he’s thrilled this happened. I bet you hear “this is another reason we need to move to electric cars” from someone in the administration. Of course, the electric grid is just as vulnerable. IMO all this proves is government and business is ineffective in securing our infrastructure.

I haven't seen any shortage or lines in Jacksonville...yet. Actually, the price was $0.17/gal lower today than yesterday as I drove by several Wawa's and Murphy's this morning. It had jumped up $0.07/gal at lunch though.
We are supposed to be be getting all our gas through the port, not pipeline, but I hope the local folks don't take advantage of the panic to skewer everyone.

Here in North Carolina we have a total fool for a governor. Last night he declared a state of emergency. Today gas stations have raised prices any where from $2.79 per gallon to $3.49 per gallon. Lines at every station and many stations are out of gas. Wilmington is a state port with lots of fuel trucks moving out with loads. But when a state of emergency is put in place people panic.

Virginia gov declared emergency too. Says that’s needed to allow truckers to haul longer hours. Supposedly the problem, according to the news, is not enough truckers, not the lack of supply. Really?

You guys are a joke! Its always Biden and this administrations fault. I guess him pissing off Putin wasn't a good idea. Even if mother Russia isn't behind the attack, Putin sure isn't going to help us get the guys who did this. Guess Biden never heard "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
Retired from an IT career in commercial and government (as a contractor). ALL thought of security as an unwanted expense that never produces anything, and tried to get by on minimum funding. No problem funding guys carrying guns and fences and stuff, but IT security is invisible when done properly, so nobody sees or hears from it and it gets forgotten until something like this happens.
My guess is we'll hear more and more of these type attacks until companies and government can be held liable for security mismanagement. All my security information was stolen from the Office of Management and Budget. All my credit information was stolen from Experian. Most of my payroll information and other info was stolen from IBM. All I got was apologetic letters and credit monitoring.

Over 70% of gas stations out of gas in NC.
