Prophet Zacharia Posted May 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2021 Doesn’t the pipeline START in Texas? Surely you won’t be experiencing gas shortages, so why do you need to hoard? Unless you’re making a road trip to deliver fuel to us in the North East? 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted May 12, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 12, 2021 I just saw most gas stations here are sitting at $2.85, while a select couple are still at $2.65… I’m confused about how the $0.20 jump is needed… I mean.. if the gas is already in their underground tanks.. there is no reason to raise prices til the new gas is put in and the prices need increased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted May 12, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 12, 2021 My imagination failed to grasp the lengths that people would go to in order to hoard gasoline. When I read social media posts that told people not to hoard, my only thought was, how can they hoard more than their gas tanks will hold? I stand corrected and I am flabbergasted at the levels of stupid that I am witnessing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted May 12, 2021 Share #10 Posted May 12, 2021 Assuming that's gas in the bags.... OMG this is way beyond being a bad idea. Gas can dissolve some plastics. And if that doesn't happen.... you can't lift a bag with the weight, the bag will rip open. You can't fix stupid, but this may thin the herd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never could make sense of that from an inventory perspective. But an owner told me that all gas prices is based off of futures, not existing inventory. It still doesn't make sense but that is what they do, nationwide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing when the next truck shows up with gas that cost 20 cents per gallon more they want the money NOW before so they can pay for the truck load gas without a loan.

Why would anyone ever sell gas for less than the current market value? Seems insane. If folks will pay $4/gallon, then sell it for $4/gallon. What incentive is there to price it too high or too low?

Not sure if that one person has been memorialized in a meme or if it is new morans popping up each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
