To stop The Gas shortage Rumors.....

[Brett]

This is directly from the governor......

Governor: Don't Panic Over Gas

Gov. Sonny Perdue asked Georgians to remain calm over the rising price of gasoline, saying the state's major distributor should be operational by the weekend.

"There's no reason to panic. There's plenty of gas on the way and the only way we'll have problems locally is if we rush out and horde," the governor said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference. "Stay calm and conserve, don't just run out to top off your tank. Just continue with normal fueling habits."

Hurricane Katrina knocked out power to two pipelines that bring gas and jet fuel into the region. The lines have been down for two days while the Metro typically holds onto a 10-day supply of gasoline.

"That does affect our gas supply and it's led to an increase in gas prices," the governor said of the pipeline problem. "This is a temporary problem due to Hurricane Katrina and will be resolved soon. It is not a cause for alarm or panic. It is not a long-term situation."

Governor Perdue said he contacted the state's gas distributors Wednesday morning and has been assured that they are working to address the supply problem. He said that a significant amount of the state's gas supplies are not affected because they arrive at the port, not by pipeline.

"To further ease the supply problem, we have temporarily waived the fuel additive requirements to expand the supply of gasoline," he said. The EPA approved the request to waive the additive, which allows for more types of fuel to come into the metro area.

In Forsyth County, 11Alive Reporter Jennifer Leslie witnessed the price of a gallon of gas shoot up to $3.50 a gallon before dropping back to $3.09 just an hour later. 11Alive.Com found one station in Stockbridge selling gasoline for a whopping $3.56 a gallon.

Instead of adding to the lines at the pumps, Perdue suggested, "Why don't just relax and spend the time with your children?...we're going to get through this just fine."

He acknowledged that while higher gas prices are an inconvenience, Georgians should keep in mind the massive humanitarian disaster in Lousiana and Mississipi.

The Clean Air Campaign is using the gas price situation to ask drivers to sign up for its Commuter Rewards program that offers cash for drivers who switch to a clean commute. Those who use mass transit, telework, carpool, walk, or bike can earn $3 per day

[B16a2 Civic]

[IndianStig]

LOL@ Chevy Trail Blazer costing $100 to fill up.

Honda pride.

How are the emergency vehicles down there getting all ther fuel???

[Scrappy]

DIE CHICK FIL A DIE! i got my strips :D im set! lol but seriously, who is going to the grocery store? check the bread and milk isles... BET they are empty LOL NO GAS MEANS NO BREAD! LOL

[99SI]

I have a very long commute to work and I'm planning to pick my car up from Vteckidd tomorrow so the shortage is very concerning to me. I'm not bitchiing about the price, however, you can't argue that the gas in my areas near me is running out. The fact is that the stations are closed and they have no gas that is not rumor. The governor says by the weekend, so lets see today is Wednsday, that means possibly 2-3 days with no possibility of getting fuel? This will affect many many people negatively that have long commutes as well as businesses that rely on gas to operate.

[4dmin]

No really kate called me and told me that, supposably they are closing the gas stations down to conserve... i was just there getting gas and there are crazy ass lines into the road w/ people trying to get gas...

i would get it now!!!

[The Ren]

My publix is out of bread, almost out of eggs and milk

[Bishop]

I drive 45min to work...and im 18 and i debt. Nothing you can do about it so dont get so concerned. Just go fill up now.

[99SI]

I'm not panicking by any means but going out and filling up when you know stations are running out of gas and closing down is not panicky IMO. Not when you don't have any gas and depend on it to get to work, school, hospital, etc.

[IndianStig]

Woahhhh. My aunt just called me and said that the gas stations near Clairemont/Briarcliff area are shut??????

Lemme call the guy next door they have like 3 stations.

[Scrappy]

[IndianStig]

We are in motherfucking Iraq, all those soldiers there, at least when they come home let them be able to afford gas! Either give them a raise, or take control of the oil fields as our present for "liberating" them and turning our war against terrorism into "Liberation of Iraq" We should snipe Saddams ass and take his riches to pay for relief.

[technoteg97]

I saw people fighting over gas, at QT, to get gas..and they ran out also!
GAS WENT OVER 3 DOLLARS TODAY

[IndianStig]

If I was the owner of a gas station, I'd raise the price to like $7.00/gal so we stop hogging all the gas and learn to use the human ability to walk upright, or realize that because of our opposable thumbs, we can shift gears on a bike/

[The Ren]

This is pathetic

[Jaimecbr900]

Actually the reason why some gas stations are shutting down is because so many people are panicking and filling up every gas tank they have, they are literally running OUT of gas.

Had the news not said anything, this would've been like any other day. As it is, people are waiting for an hour to fill up instead..... :look:

[trythefly]

Thats it! FUCK IT I'm riding my lawnmower in tomorrow.

[Kevykev]

Thats it! FUCK IT I'm riding my lawnmower in tomorrow.

People in this state are so fucking stupid!! We press release was made not to do EXACTLY what these isdiots are doing, so people who do need gad are fucked cause of the idiots rushing out thinking there is a shortage. They have made it clear we have 10 days back up still and the pipes will be flowing again this weekend, so why does Atlanta people have to be fuckin stupid an act like there is no gas left in the world and slam the stations?

404-651-8600 Is the Consumer hotline for gas gouging...USE IT

[The Yousef]

the only reason i filled up this morning (at 9AM 2.89 for premium wOOt!) was b/c i was on empty....but i'm glad i did...so didn't have to pay like 3.29 or some shit.....so i'm good for atleast a week (but no veetak engagement for me :( need to save some gas where ever i can...lol)

yousef

[SE-Romeo]

I'm not worried at all, im jsut pissed that there is a line of cars to a gas staion 1/4 mile away, that is blocking the exit to my nieghborhood.

I'm bout to start selling lemonade to them.

[The Yousef]

.

I'm bout to start selling lemonade to them.

you should try to sell them some gasoline instead....lol

[SE-Romeo]

Nah see.

Everyone will get thirsy waiting in line, so i knock on their window and offer them a refreshing glass of lemonade. When I see that everyone is willing to pay a dollar for lemonade, I up the price to 1.50.

[CiViCCuTie]

he declared it a state of emergency so prices won't be rising much more, due to the fact that the gas stations will be penalized if found raising prices to above and beyond amounts

[CiViCCuTie]

404-651-8600 Is the Consumer hotline for gas gouging...USE IT

Just have good ole' Sonny announce that there is a shortage of lemonade :goodjob:

[technoteg97]

most gas stations in hiram-Dallas area..and maanyy other places I bet.. have no gas in their tanks as of now. including QT,Kroger,RaceTrac..big company names.

stations selling for $4 or more..should be fucking slapped in the face. and call the price gougin peepz n screw them over.

[Bishop]

yah qt and cherveron are out by my house, and shell by KSU is out. that 3 outa 5 gas stations i drove by that were out.

[SLOWR/T]

my brother called me at 7:30 and said the Exxon on barrett pkwy was selling gas at 87 3.99
89 4.99
93 5.99

but BP across the road was still 2.89 for 87 anyone else see this???? if so i will never ever ever ever ever go there!!!!!!! EVER!!!

if not then this is why i hate rumors. a old woman at the parts store (buying locking gas caps) starts poping off at the mouth about gas going to be 6-7 dollars a gallon and the stores are going to run outta food. so you better go get it now and what not. the only way that will happen is if people do that. i said it loud enough so she could hear me that people need to calm down and just live a normal life and quit saying "well i heard" and "so and so said". if everyone starts topping of the tank on the way to work and on lunch and on the way home. then yeah lines are going to be long and gas stations are going to run outta gas. just drive normal and go back to the ways that you were doing things before this happen and everything will be fine. oh and if you go the the store and buy all the milk, eggs and bread you can then your a FUCKING IDIOT!!!! milk and bread does NOT last long. a week at most. most people that buy 3-4 gallons of milk and 4-5 loafs of bread will throw most of it away. buy canned food if your going to buy anything. i swear people in the south are dumb as hell when it comes to buying food for a crisis or hard times. dont buy shit loads of perishable food items ( ie. MILK, BREAD, fruit, eggs, veggie) im not saying dont buy these, just dont buy all of them. be considerate to others.

EVERYONE CALM DOWN AND IT WILL BE OK!!!!!!
