Deplorable me

Went to two stations in Wilson hoses were bagged. Guess they were out.
I can see it now. Save the earth by using mail in voting.We need mail in voting because we dont have the gas to drive to the polling place
They need to mandate odd and even plate refuel days, gotta be nostalgic.I'm glad they made a comeback. We'd been trying the last 4 years to Make America Great Again and with Biden, we've succeeded. 1970's-80' Great!
I remember that.They need to mandate odd and even plate refuel days, gotta be nostalgic.
Heās black and itās sad so there is a little bump from that ā¦ not that heās just a better candidate.I think you are Right.
BUT, how do Y'all explain the victory for your Lt. Governor???
I actually needed gas this morning, so I drove to the station I usually use. No lines. But the only grade they had was Premium at $3.39 a gallon, so I went back home. A few hours later my daughter texted me that the same station had just got a delivery, so I drove over again. This time they had all three grades, same prices as yesterday, and a "line" of three vehicles at each pump. I think I have enough gas to last me for a few days. I'm old enough to remember the lines during the oil embargo... I survived that, I can probably survive this.
Yeah, well, at least we have open carry!If he could run again...he'd win again. Y'all had a chance 6 months ago and put him Right back in.
Oh NO...say it ain't SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But I have been wrong once before. š
So glad you posted this....I gotta question....on a pump with different grades and all are dispensed through One nozzle, is the gas coming from 3 different tanks OR is the gas treated internally to get the octane rating posted???

I just returned from Murder Beach for a Doc's appointment and watched a tanker fill up a Lowe's station. It "looked" like it all went in one place and yet all 3 grades were available after he filled the tank???
Always been curious about this and I'm certain there is somebody on here with a plausible answer???
Also, even IF it came from 3 different places isn't there residual fuel left from the previous grade pumped???
Thereās only one tank and it dispenses the same product thru all nozzles. My car seems to run better when it knows I paid $4 per gallon. š¤So glad you posted this....I gotta question....on a pump with different grades and all are dispensed through One nozzle, is the gas coming from 3 different tanks OR is the gas treated internally to get the octane rating posted???

But didn't the guvnor say no price gouging??Premium here on Stanly was going for over 4.39 a gallon.
The empty one has their pumps bagged. No line if there is no gas.
Might not keep nearly as much premium on hand.Just left a station in Midway - had regular, no premium (or midgrade, of course)
Why out of premium? I figure most would want/use regular, was surprised they ran out of premium so soon.
Another station in Midway bagged up already.
Dang , I wish I would have thought of that...
There are 2 different tanks. 89 is mixed in-pump. 87 and 93 are piped from the tank to the pump.So glad you posted this....I gotta question....on a pump with different grades and all are dispensed through One nozzle, is the gas coming from 3 different tanks OR is the gas treated internally to get the octane rating posted???

Most modern stores have 1 or 2 20k regular tanks and a 10 or 15k premium tankMight not keep nearly as much premium on hand.
Well they arenāt totally stupid. The current working theory that Iāve seen is they factor a 3% fudge factor. Trump broke that when he won so they had other resources in place to thwart him in 2020. Mr. Robinson obviously broke that 3 % too. But they donāt have the resources to cheap every way everywhere. P,us if every Democrat won their race even the dimmest amongst us might begib to suspect a rigged game. They have to throw us a bone occasionally. And a Lt. Gov is a pretty weak position. Nothing but a small stepping stone to get your name out,
Or at least all that crap is my theory. But I have been wrong once before. š
OK this is a thread hijack...
In NC, R's won for President, Senator, Lt Gov. Picked up seats in the state House and lost only one in the state Senate. There were six statewide judge races, R's won all six. Gained in the Council of State roles (Secretary of Whatever, etc). But Dan Forest lost the Governorship by five points. That means a lot of NC voters checked Republicans most of the way down but voted against Forest. I voted for him, even went to one of his fund raisers, have met him a couple of times. The night belonged to Republicans, Cooper was vulnerable, but Dan Forest was a bad candidate that ran a bad race.
From now on, Iām hanging around the pump after filling up on premium. If the next customer wants regular, theyāre gonna hafta pay me the difference between those two grades, times 1/2 gallon!!!! š¤There may be 1/2 gallon (if that) from the previous sale that is in the hose.
Been waiting to hear about things like this. It's Tuesday and a lot of stations are out. I figure by end of week things could get ugly and we have another week or even two to endure. Re-mapping our daily patterns to stretch the gas, specifically factorig in kids and school.Keep a close eye on your vehicles, I drove in to work with a little over 1/4 tank, start to drive out after work to find the light on and needle resting below the the bottom of "E"
No I didn't lock the door, there's enough eyes and traffic from our business I haven't done so in years during daylight. May have avoided a destroyed gas lid cover anyway...

Stay vigilant. There will be hungry wolves out there looking for prey and they are bolder than ever.
What the hell happened to the prices on LD items? Used to be so cheap
They won't mess with your gas cap. They will just go underneath and knock a hole in your tank.Keep a close eye on your vehicles, I drove in to work with a little over 1/4 tank, start to drive out after work to find the light on and needle resting below the the bottom of "E"
