DFW gas stations may run out of gas due to Harvey | Star-Telegram

At a QuikTrip near Eagle Drive and U.S. 377 in Denton, about two-thirds of the gas pumps were shut down late Tuesday. Customers were told the fuel tanks were running low.
QuikTrip, which operates 135 stores in North Texas, plans to stop selling gasoline at roughly half its stores this weekend, spokesman Mike Thornbrugh said.

Time for station owners to gouge. It will help maintain supply.

No worries, I'm sure the oil industry plans to do exactly that, just like after every other major Gulf storm.

But the scale will be much larger than just Texas.

Reports of rising gas prices started last Friday before Harvey even hit the US coast.

Labor Day weekend travel is going to hit gas stations pretty hard.

The media has them all worked into a lather. Doing a disservice as usual.

Its a scam. And since most people don't understand or care they get away with it. When wholesale prices finally drop the retail prices will take much longer to come back down.

Refineries and the largest us pipeline is down. Look up "supply and demand" for further explanation
