>>This has nothing to do with this thread. I saw on the news that 47% of the gas stations in Florida are out of gas. I find that hard to believe since the last time I looked 90% of Florida gas was brought here on tankers, Here in North Florida I can understand the shortage since a spur of the Colonial pipeline ends in Bainbridge, GA. which is about 40 miles north of Tallahassee, FL. What is the situation in South Florida?

Just as I thought. More media hype!
According to AAA, Florida gas prices have held relatively steady after last week’s Colonial Pipeline outage led to panic buying in the South.

In Central Florida, long lines were seen at several gas stations and some even ran out of fuel because of people rushing to the pumps, but officials said there was never a gas shortage in Florida, since most of the state gets its fuel from ships and not the pipeline.
