Fuel/Gas issues

Man what a nightmare getting gas for your cars, boats,etc. Took me two days to get gas for the car. I can tell you this I don't believe many people were prepared for this storm. Luckily my power was restored after 12 hours. I did have a generator, but gas was low in it so I trekked off to get it and low and behold It felt like the 70's again. Gas shortage, lines up the yeng yang, people cutting each other off at the coffee stands and at the pump.

Today I am buying two 5 gallon gas cans and filling them up for next time.

Good Luck,
Russ

Russ, gas does not have that great of a shelf life. I case you were planning on storing it.
