Still no Gas in Charlotte NC
Charlotte is still without gas as a result of Hurricane Ike. From what I saw today (Sunday) only about 1 in 8 stations have gas. I guess we'll already be used to this if Barry O wins this is what the typical US city will look like. 05-stirthepot

The Charlotte Mayor staked his political future on a big shipment of gas that was supposed to arrive via pipeline on Friday. If it has arrived it isn't showing up at the pumps. I have to think this is going to hurt is run for governor. The anger of the gas shortage is probably also being taken out on McCain in recent NC polls.

I'm in Houston and I paid $3.29 today. No shortage around here, and from what I have heard the refinerys and pipelines are all up and running.

Charlotte NC is the end of that pipeline so all the branches of that line have been sucking in up since the refineries came back on line. It's been a freaking nightmare and the Charlotte media has whipped it into a frenzy.

Well, something "funny" may be going on since the Texas refinerys had minimal damage. They were offline maybe 3 days at the most because they didn't have power. Things should be "back to normal" by now.

We won't have any if McCain wins either. It will all be used in the military taking over the world. I hear he is going after Czechoslovakia first. 03-lmfao

I am aware of that. Try telling that to McCain he is the one that didn't know that.

Augusta has been seriously low on gas. Most stations are completely out.

That's because you're hoarding it down there! We had to pay $3.83 for premium because they were out of regular in Mesquite Friday night (granting both Friday night football and the Mesquite rodeo may have finished off their suppllies). I think regular is running in the 3.60s otherwise. The ninnies on the local news were warning everyone of shortages early last week.

And certainly a bunch of airheads on the 10pm news wouldn't have anything to do with that, right?

i love when the people who create the initial panic, become the ones complaining about it.

RE: Still no Gas in Charlotte NC
From the AJC... who once again demonstrates they don't anything about the story. The major refinerys in the Houston area were down only 3 days, which means they have been back up almost two weeks.

Q: Why are we having gas shortages in Atlanta?

A: Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit back-to-back. The refineries shut down in anticipation of Gustav. Then Ike hit and the gas production and refineries didn’t restart because of power outages. That also affected the operation of major pipelines that move gas from refining areas in the Gulf Coast to facilities throughout the Southeast.

Q: How long will the gas shortages last?

A: It’s hard to say. There are pockets of surging demand. People are trying to top off more in fear of shortages, so people are buying more gas than they’d normally buy. But this will not be a permanent situation.


Q: Why does it seem that there’s more of a shortage now than after Hurricane Katrina?

A: The stockpiles of gasoline and other products are lower now than after Hurricane Katrina. So current shutdowns are mainly due to power outages in the areas where there are refineries. The good news is they’re starting to come back online. Production will be restored faster than it was after Katrina and Rita because the refineries weren’t damaged as badly. As of Friday, only four of 56 Gulf Coast refineries remain closed.

Q: Have other places been as hard-hit as Georgia?

A: Mainly North Carolina and Georgia. One reason for Atlanta’s shortage was the area’s requirements for a special type of fuel. It’s a unique fuel affecting the sulfur content that’s required in 45 counties in Georgia. But the temporary waiver of the reformulated gas, combined with more refineries coming back online, should ease the shortage.


Q: The Northeast seems to have escaped the shortages? Why?

A: They have more supply options in the Northeast. There are more refineries along the way and they get supply from other parts of the country, in addition to the Gulf Coast refineries and pipelines. The Southeast depends mostly on Gulf Coast refineries and pipelines.

Um, gas has been at about 3.51 a gallon all day long, and at any station you wanted, for quite some time now in Jackson, Ms., AJC.
