Default Re: People in Atlanta (Gas Prices/Shortage)

My drive home today was a mix of amusement and laughter.

Every gas station had lines completely around them and people hollering at each other and honking at each other.

It was quite the spectacle.

Good times.

I just drove to school, and all I have to say is ditto. Yeah, the prices suck, but people are going absolutely apeshit about it.

Perdue said there is no reason to panic about gas shortages and rising prices. He told reporters that fuel shipments are continuing to arrive at Georgia ports, and that Colonial Pipeline, the largest pipeline distributing fuel into Georgia, expects to be largely operational by the Labor Day weekend.

"There does appear to be some spot shortages in unbranded, spot-purchasing service stations," he said. "We expect that to be a temporary problem.

"There is no reason to panic. There is plenty of gas on the way. The only way we would have problems is if people rush out and try to hoard and try to accumulate gasoline they won't need for a while."
