Gas shortage? Oh, you mean the one caused by stupid people filling up
every empty can, bottle, and jar they have. They made a minor
inconvenience for a few a major ordeal for many.

You mean people like these?

Not buying that one. Gasoline would eat them up.

I saw a video of that one. Obviously not a DOT approved container. I
hope he realizes that that's about 3000 lbs of gasoline, maybe more.
Look at his suspension now, and it's only half full.

The one of the pick up truck is an actual picture taken by my buddy
in Florida. He drove down from NYS before this happened and he's
not sure if he'll be able to get back, not knowing if he'll be able to get
gas on the way back.

Sounds like a FOAF story but I've seen it elsewhere.

They started up the pipeline yesterday. Everything should be fine in
a couple of days. Back to normal within a week. Gas is available now
(check Gas Buddy).

I can't speak for the validity of the trunk full of bags.

Not happening.
