Are they really running out of gas here in Dallas? Had a friend in Plano just ask on Facebook if anyone knew where gas was available.

Saw half a dozen stations in McKinney that were empty. The rest have very long lines.

Lots of places out already. I think people are just freaking out.

It didn't help when qt announced half their stations would be out by the weekend

Anyone think this is a true shortage looming or just a sort of reverse "don't buy gas on Fridays" nonsense?

I filled up yesterday wondering about this, but I think sticking to the stations a little off the beaten path should work fine.

Just got home and saw that the gas station just south of Preston and Main in Frisco (7-eleven i think) had probably 30-40 cars either getting gas, waiting for gas or lined up in the street to get gas. I got gas at lunch with no issue so part of this feels like a bit of panic, but who knows.

25% of USA refineries are off line and transportation is disrupted in areas that produce gas. This may not get better until next week.

Quik Trip will consolidate gas to half its locations in DFW to stay open. Website will identify which ones have gas.

There were lines in the street at 930 PM last night 3-4 vehicles deep at multiple Plano gas stations. Never seen that much traffic out on the streets on a weeknight.

People are panicking for the holiday weekend. Assuming these were people low on gas or taking trips over the weekend.

I find it hard to believe that these suppliers only keep 3-4 days of gas in stock with supply high enough to keep prices at $2/gal. What gives?

No line at all at the 7-11 on the corner of Bush and Jupiter. $2.49/gallon for regular.

Plenty of gas everywhere I drove by this morning.
Corpus plants are open.

When the people poeple on FB saying fill up are waiters, teenagers, and grandma's, we have a run on gas for 24 hours and we will return to normal.

I'll worry when my O&G buddies text and say fill up your cans.

I commute to Sherman from Allen. There were two stations in Sherman out of gas that I usually go to. My coworker talked to the owner of another station in Sherman when she filled up. He told her he expected to run out this weekend and is not sure when he will receive more.

I have heard the same through the grapevine... any chance that a panic might exacerbate the issue? We are travelling from DFW to San Antonio this weekend, and it's at least making me a bit nervous.

I think a panic is what has caused the issue.

Don't disagree, but it's reaching the next level of folks at this point. So, while it a concern right now - is there a chance it really becomes bad? I'm worried about needing gas for my return trip on Monday and being SOL.... or just being a massive pain in the ass to find fuel.

There is no issue outside of the panic...

I'd just wake up early and go. My father in law drove around to 6 different places last night, waited about 30 minutes and got some.

Sister in law got some with no line this morning about sun up.

Brother in law is sitting in a line now.

Most people are dumb and lazy. Go when dumb and lazy people aren't awake.

FWIW, I'm doing the same thing and have some buddies in SA who're saying there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary down there.

I just heard about this also, seems WFAA blasted a story about a gas shortage and people are panicking.

I figured this was a combo of the media and facebook / nextdoor. Crazies.

I'm actually in favor of the stations jacking up the prices.

Force people to actually make the decision of buying some vs. just crowding to get it and everyone running out. Conservation isn't the worst thing.

Supply and demand is a crazy equation.

Yep, regular should go up to 2.50-2.75 for a week or two.

I became part of the problem this morning. Several stations near my house are out. I chose not to wait last night and on my 4th stop found a station in downtown Fort Worth with only premium.
