>>>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?

>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.
