Phoenix-D

Pipelines can carry fuel more efficently over longer distances than trucks can. Think of it as a railroad carrying a lot of heavy freight to a depot. The trucks deliver the fuel from the local terminal (depot) to the local stations.

Shuttng down the pipeline will shut down the local Phoenix terminal. Now the trucks have to drive to Tuscon to pick up the same gas, but there is not as many filling (pump) spots at that terminal.

Other distributers do not have more of Phoenix's special EPA approved blend, so they are not much help.

Who ever said there is the same amount of gas as before is lying and trying to avoid a panic. There will be less than before, but it is enough to get by on, if we all conserve.
