well no shit common sense, but if you have been out in the past 2 hours you can see mass hysteria at the pump. it is pretty serious and if you don't have gas i would get it. b/c the south depends on supplies in the gulf... better safe than sorry.

looks like i will be doing some foot action next week...

**HiPSI** · 08-31-2005, 04:52 PM

nothing more than mass paranoia... everyone rushing to the pumps is bringing it on themselves. if people could comprehend what's actually happening and not panic about everything nobody would be running dry, people would just be smarter about their usage for a while until things get cracking again.

**Scrappy** · 08-31-2005, 04:53 PM

uh oh bert, paul gettin snappy on ya

paul hun it will be okay, breathe... YAY!

jk sorry

**Juicy** · 08-31-2005, 04:54 PM

They wouldn't be running out of gas if everyone wasn't running to the pumps to get gas! The governer has already stated that the state is not running out of gas and to only go fill your car up if you need to, and that there is no need to go to the pumps. All this is a big hoax...

**4dmin** · 08-31-2005, 04:54 PM

OMG WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! NO GAS, NO BREAD, NO EGGS, NO MILK!!!

PREPARE FOR THE END!!!

Here's the scoop from the Governor...

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 hoard," 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.

**Nismo** · 08-31-2005, 05:10 PM

Siphoning of gas out of other peoples tanks is going to be an all time high this weekend!

**civicchic2000** · 08-31-2005, 05:10 PM

Everyone just think of it like this. We are living through history. What we are experiencing and what we have experienced will be in the texts books in the future. We will have something to tell our kids and their kids when we are older. That's a way of thinking of it for me

Hell I didn't walk before I had a car, and don't plan on starting. I go to school in Carrollton, 30 minutes from me. I am sure walking 20 something odd miles in 80 something degree weather is not a good idea!
