Yeah, Biteme, how is that Keystone pipeline idea looking mow? We’re looking at another jump in oil prices and gas shortages, which will result in price increases across the board.

All part of the plan to usher in the new greenbean, socialist/communist utopia.

I’d say your correct, having had one of those myself I was able to boot into safe mode and remove it, not overly complicated and if I can do it then it seems larger entities should also have the people to get it done for them

IDK, maybe some are different :man_shrugging:

An email from Flying J

To our Valued Guests:

We are closely monitoring the rapidly changing Colonial Pipeline situation and are seeing increased demand for gasoline across various markets in the Southeast region. Diesel is still holding steady in most areas.

The increased strain on the supply chain is causing supplies to get tighter. Currently, diesel is available at most of our locations with select stores experiencing outages as we work to bring in more supply.

We will continue to do everything we can, including bringing in resources and extra drivers from unaffected areas, to meet demand and restore supply where needed at our travel centers.

Additionally, please be aware of the recent Georgia Governor’s Executive Order dated May 10, 2021, which suspended the collection of motor fuel and diesel fuel taxes required by Code Section 48-9-3. More details on this are below.

We greatly appreciate your patience as we work to keep up with the quickly evolving market and will inform you of any changes to diesel supply availability.

Georgia Excise Tax Executive Order:

We are aware of the recent Georgia Governor’s Executive Order dated May 10, 2021 which suspended the collection of motor fuel and diesel fuel taxes required by Code Section 48-9-3. With the Colonial Pipeline down, we are required to transport fuel from out of state to our Georgia travel centers, which is creating additional issues as several states will require state excise states to be charged if Georgia taxes are not charged. We are attempting to get more information on the proper handling of this order.

In the meantime, we request that you maintain your receipts for any cash or credit card purchases made on May 11, 2021 through 11:59pm on May 15, 2021, or until further guidance from the State of Georgia on the best way to handle this situation dictates otherwise. Based on guidance received, we will review all direct bill and billing card invoices and make adjustments or corrections as needed.

We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and thank you for your patience during this time.

And out here in the Southwest US today, gas prices shot up .20 per gallon and diesel about .35 per gallon. Overnight.
We aren’t even affected by this event, but it doesn’t stop the profiteers from sucking more cash out of our pockets…cuz, you know, it’s on the news. SMH :man_facepalming:t2:

All in the name of getting money out of the pockets of the petroleum industry and into the pockets of the Greenbean Dream Team.
Shift the money, shift the power.

I have been wondering if this is not another setup to get us used to not driving, maybe gas rationing. I don’t put anything past those green douchbags.

Gas is $2.63 here today. There was a small line where I go like 1 car waiting for each pump.

If I remember correctly, under the Trump administration we were stockpiling fuel from the excess of production.

I fail to see a shortage but more of a delivery issue.

Thank GOD I have enough for a several weeks set aside.

I think it is all part of Biden’s plan to raise the cost of gas so you buy electric cars

I actually like them but not for my lifestyle. They are super fast and I’m talking on demand torque. But I can’t wait for my battery to charge while hunting

Use this situation to push EV’s…even though they will still be refining fuel to fuel all the diesel equipment that mine all the resources to build EV’s…keep pushing NG through pipelines to the factories making EV’s…Keep drilling for oil and gas to produce all the tires/electronics/plastic/batteries for the EV’s…sounds like a plan…

Only 20% of EV owners said they would purchase again. Too much of a hassle to charge, takes VERY long time, etc.

Anyway, I live between 2 refineries.
One is about a mile.
The other about 2.
I do ok. :wink:

This will be an excuse for government takeover of pipeline control. Because the private company f-ed it up after the Feds warned them.
