There's a gas station near me where I usually buy most of my gas (and diesel for burning off brush piles). Well, today I had the gas can, almost
empty, in the car and was driving by so I decided to get some gas for the tractor. You know, just in case so i wouldn't need to make a special
trip.
I pulled up and all of the pumps had regular unleaded 'X'd out as well as midgrade (which is a mixture of premium and regular). They still had
premium, as well as no-ethanol regular (which is what I got for the tractor... it's a pre-ethanol (1990) model). The price difference was pretty high
compared to regular gas, so it's not surprising that it would sell out last.
They also had diesel.
That surprised me because this particular station has never run out of gas before... it's the go-to place for a pretty large area. Suddenly I started
having visions of the late-70s gas lines and rationing gas when one could even find it.
So... is anyone else seeing stations out of regular gas? Or is it just a fluke? I hope it's a fluke... I don't drive much, but I do drive some and I
rely on gas machines around here to do pretty much anything since the ticker stopped ticking right.
