No gas/gas stations closed in NY... trouble brewing..

The above paragraph said it all.

Thanks for sharing.

 

In about 3 years I will sell my 2012 Prius and get the PIP. I always hear great stories like this one.

 

Call me stupid, but I have 40 gallons of gas stored in my garden shed in five gallon metal jerry cans. I put Stabil in them and rotate them to my cars.

Maybe, I will never need it, but that's great insurance for my cars and my generator.

 

The Irvine Comany ( A large Property management company) energy guy stopped in and offered free electric consulting in tow with the SDG&E consultant. I said you guys should install Charging Stations in the parking garage for the EV drivers. He immediately got defensive. Too bad.

 

I hope riots don't start to break out... been reading it is getting pretty tense.

 

I've been using up EV power just maneuvering around fuel lines to get to work and back.

 

There is actually plenty of gas, it is mainly that 60% of the stations don't have power and so they can't pump the gas they have.
I applaud all owners of fuel efficient vehicles. Times like this show how much efficiency really pays off.

 

Why call you stupid? I'd call you smart. Personally I don't understand why people who know a disaster is on the way DONT store more gas if they're able. (I do understand apartment dwellers can't do it.)

 

There are those who compare us with "apocalypse"end of the world"prepers."

I'm just careful. I have water for 2-3 weeks, food for the same period, various non-electric or non-gas cooking stoves, a kerosene heater and 20 gallons of kersosene.

I don't tell and of the neighbors that I have it and hide it from the sight of others.

 

nothing wrong with being a Prepper and people who take care of themselves and their families don't have to rely on govmin't handouts/welfare. I'm a bit of a Prepper myself. I have between 55 and 110 gallons of gas onhand all the time. I have LOTS of freeze dried and dehydrated food, along with 1/2 ton of hard red wheat. Antibiotics bought from a farm supply store....moooo. The necessary guns and ammo to protect it all. A supply of trade goods. I had a propane fueled generator installed and attached to my house wiring along with a 500 gallon filled propane tank. Solar panels, new in boxes. Garden and sealed cans of Heirloom seeds. We live in a small town and live near a year round creek.

My wife thinks I'm nuts but she'll come abeggin' for a handout IF the crap hits the fan....hahahaha.

 

I have 411 miles and used about 5 gallons of gas. At this rate, I can go another 400 miles but the fact that there is only 5 gallons in my tank is making me nervous. I am going to fill it up after work today.

 

I saw two lines of about 1/2 mile long this morning for a gas station that wasn't even opened yet. I think they were waiting for a delivery. Your best best is with a Hess or Gulf station since their tanks are located on the Island. Also, a tanker is supposed to pull into Port Jeff today.

I think the problem will be resolved by Sunday. According to the LIPA map there are still 524K customers without electricity. I don't think it's up to date, since it hasn't changed that much since this morning.

 

Some people are getting big surprises when they find out some stations won't fill their containers unless they're approved for gasoline.

 

And O'Bama has gone to Vegas, after he got his photo opps ... niiiiiiice

 

I went to a local gas station on my way for dinner. No gas there. The station was closed off with police line and a cop car standing by.
