I already filled all my cars, my trucks, my cans, I also filled my bath tubes at home, just in case. The odor is annoying but better than taking the risk to not have gasoline. I also ordered and bought all the cans available at Lowes, HomeDepot, Menards, dollar tree, and more.
If you think I miss some, thanks to let me know, I will stop everything I am doing and go get them.
Since it's the vapor that is flammable, someone needs to check on xxrb1 to make sure the house hasn't exploded yet (or I guess we just watch the news to see if anyone has blown up recently). :-)
We have a road trip coming up. Have to leave tomorrow to Cherokee, NC and be back by Friday night. Have a flight to catch from RDU on Saturday to fly out of country too.
All bookings done!
What to do
Friends, will travelling on i-40 be an issue w.r.t gas availability? Do you think it is very risky to just hope for the best and leave tomorrow Wednesday evening.
Please share your thoughts.
I live in WNC. I wouldn't hope to get gas easily in the area to get back. Since it has to be trucked up the mountain we always get hit worse then others. Spruce pine still didn't have premium 3weeks after stuff returned to normal for the rest of the state last time.
Last time the pipeline was down, my wife and kids needed to go to Eastern Virginia. I advised them against it. My wife called two stations close to where they were staying and asked about gas supply and they had no clue what she was talking about. They went, and had absolutely zero issues getting fuel. There was no "shortage" or panic there. Three hour drive away.

I put a plastic bag on top with a candle close to, so during the night I can see that my tube is not leaking. Do you think I will mess up something with my candle ????
