Gas buddy seems to indicate a gradual gain in stations with fuel. Hopefully, this is everyone finally getting filled up and letting the suppliers catch up .

The man/Woman in Charge of Costco supply chain for gas needs a raise. I am not sure if Cosco has been taking a loss on Gas for this past three weeks but I am guessing they are. They have consistently have had gas while the Big Exons I have seen on Duval and Mopac, 183/Braker, 183/Burnet and HEBs have been out.

The GasBuddy app is so weird, like Austin. It said the Shell on Guadalupe had gas, I went, it was out of gas, and it said the 7-11 on Guadalupe had no gas, but I went there and it did have gas. Like going on a wild gas chase. By the way I do a lot of driving to see and service clients throughout the east Texas region so I had to fuel up.

It can change quickly. You can check and see when the last status update was for each station (think it show in eastern time).

Taco Bell always has plenty of gas - and no waiting.

it is crowdsourced, there are people that are posting false posts.

Two gas stations attendants have told me in the past that they are told (by the station owners) to update the info as it changes. Not related to available gas (that is a new thing) but as to price.

this is crazy. I guess its human nature to fear of being left out.

San Antonio got 2.5 times more gas than usual. This gas shortage is self-made by idiots panicking.
