How's the gas situation in Georgia? Quite a few stations here out of gas and shipments coming in are spotty.

ITS A DROUGHT
Is it a shortage because of the pipeline? or is it a shortage because of panicky people going to fill up milk jugs?
Gas shot up 30-40 cent from the West Athens to Winder area.

No shortage here in Montana, but a steady $2.36 per gallon as it has been for several months now.

East TN is gettin dry at most stations. Pilot has its own supply according to local supply chain workers though.

Not a whisper about it in west TN. Prices ~$1.90.

There's a good number of stations out of gas. Hopefully they get this shot fixed soon because I drive a lot during the day.

Went to 13 stations in a row around Nashville Saturday before I found one with gas

My wife told me the news reported that Ms. Al. and Ga. could see some shortages, and price increases. So far, we're ok, and it's $1.83...and holding. Of course, we're west and south of the pipeline.

Back in 2001, I was an electrician working on the Colonial Pipeline HQ building get in Alpharetta. The Reader's Digest version is that there are 5 40" pipes that go from Houston to NYC. 3 are owned by Colonial, and the other two are their competitor's - Plantation Pipeline. Every 50 miles or so, there's a pumping station to keep the gas moving.
The way we were told 15 years ago, is that if one of those pumping stations stopped working for more than 30 minutes, the price of gas is negatively affected along the entire East coast. That's why every pump station had a manual override desk in the HQ. The room looked like it was on the Death Star. Obviously a line break is infinitely worse than a pump failure.
Its just interesting to see that what the company folks said years ago turned out to be true.
