Default Re: Massive Power Outage

The Phoenix gas situation has eased.
Mostly due to a temporary measure putting aside the requirements for our unique anti-pollution summer blend.
Now many distributors can help truck in gas from many directions.
On a really sad note, the tanker drivers will be allowed to work a 70 hour week. There are still hours-per-day driving restrictions. With two drivers, and a sleeping cab, the trucks can cover a lot of ground.

We are paying a lot more now.
It may not be gouging, at least by the little guy. Truckers get paid overtime. Gas stations have fixed expenses, rent, mortgage, utilites, insurance, and were selling less of a product that cost them more.
