On September 1 I will start a trip, is there any information if Petro is doing the same.

-
You can go to the individual chains and check their web sites out.
They are pilot, TA, petro and loves. -
I was at the Loves in Christiana, TN this past Sunday night and could only get 100 gallons.

Came out of Atlanta with a load home to western NC this morning, drivers heading south were asking if the Petro and Flying J at X160 on I-85 in GA had diesel; I asked why. They said the Pilot was limiting and running out at the SC exits (35 and the other one, can't remember the other exit). It's been rough in western NC, my girlfriend has been telling me on the phone daily how the lines have been at the gas stations that have gas here in NC.
I got off I-85 in Greenville, SC this morning to go north on US 25 to go home. All the Greenville stations had closed for the most part --- no gas! Walmart was open but I had to get in left hand lane cause the line was 1/4 mile out onto the highway! This is crazy!!! There have been hurricanes (many hurricanes) in the gulf in the past but it's never affected gas like this! What's up with all of this? Something fishy going on! When Katrina pulverized LA we never had a disruption of gas in north and south carolina. I really don't understand what's going on with these two states.
Go to Tenn or GA and plenty of gas, it's just these two states. -
I seen on the news some lines were 60 cars long....
-
This is ridiculous and beyond belief. TN has a MAJOR problem (yes, where I live), and I have seen gas stations out even here! I am in west TN, and I have seen gas stations out for a week! WTF?!?! We are not even on that freakin' Colonial Pipeline!
-
LOL!! My car had 3/4 tank in it when I left out last time, now the light is on! Girlfriend said she had no choice! LOL! Now we got two cars low on gas!! This soooo sad it's funny!

Its probably going to get worse with the hurricane running up the eastern seaboard.

We had a gas station run out of fuel and they were tired of people stopping by and yelling at them for not having any gas... So they changed the price on the sign to $9 a gallon to stop people from coming in to buy gas...
