No Gas In Phoenix

[freeflyz 0]

We're running out of gas in Phoenix....There is a 7 mile line to get gas in some parts of the city! Some gas stations started to up there prices up to 4.95 a gallon!!!! The governor just put up a phone line for gas stations that are raising there gas prices are going to be fined! I had to walk to work this moring...I ran out of gas driving from Eloy last night! I went to 12 gas stations and they had no gas. It sucks!!!

The pipe line that supplys Phoenix with gas has broken in between Tucson and Phoenix....So they can't supply gas,and they don't have enough trucks to supply the whole city...So that means there is a hand full of gas stations left. So that means I'm going to fill up with Av gas!

Warning - 100LL is not really low lead. It contains a lot of lead and will destroy your catalytic converter. That means a lot of $$ next time you have to have an emissions test for your registration.

I ran out of gas on my way home from Eloy last night too, but got some from a gas station in Casa Grande with a ride from someone who was nice enough to stop and help me out. I hope it doesn't last too long, I go crazy if I don't jump every weekend...

The right way to handle this - let gas stations charge whatever they want. They will up the prices until many people can't afford gas, and the demand will drop off until all gas stations have enough gas to supply the remaining customers. People will drive less, use the Neon instead of the Excursion, drive to Tuscon to get gas etc until the crisis passes.

The wrong way to handle this - set a price cap. Every station that opens will be bombarded by traffic and will run dry within an hour. Lines will be incredibly long, cars will stall there in line and block everyone else, and there will be cases of gas-line violence.

Exactly the same thing happened during the 1970's gas shortage. You'd think we'd learn.

I thought this was going to be a thead about you finally being on an Otter load and no one farted.

I'm sorry you had to walk to work. If I was there, I'd rub your feet!

LOL sea or othewise?
I can't believe that in all of Arizona they can't find enough trucks to haul fuel. Heck if one watches the interstate they go all day and all night. Its a conspiricy I tell you.
With the blue POS I am staying at the DZ for a few days. Damn gas guzzler...

My Harley runs great on 100LL. It ran even better on 110-130. I love it when I am idling and mine and everyone else around me's eyes start burning. Lovely.

evey once in awhile I would put some (trust me 10oz. Max) 35%Nitro/Alchohol in my 5gal. GXS-R and it made MY eyes burn at the light.
Good news= no bugs in my Cul-de-sac for a day or two

How many people live in Phoenix? 2 Million or more? That's incredible that they is no gas. Sucks to be you guys (at least in the summer when it's too hot to jump and you've got no fuel). But then again, I'd love Eloy to be my home DZ Oct-May.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

The gas stations get a truck that drops off gas and people start to figure out that the station is now selling fuel and wham, traffic from hell and everyone sitting right in the middle of parking lots, people trying to sneak in line in front of people. It is pretty bad. The parking lot at my work was pretty empty, and I work for a pretty large company!!!!
Someone told me that they paid 3.99 a gallon somewhere, we lucked out and only paid .04 over the posted price (after waiting over 2 hours just to fill up-boyfriend drove in from CA and thought I was overexagerating on the gas shortage). That station was empty again this morning on my way to work.

Bill, you should be running for governor, or Arnold should have you for an advisor!

Wow. Billvon is an invisible hander. You never stop surprising me.
