I will caution you all to cognizant of the current dilemma if you are heading out west this weekend. The dang media has blown this "non-existent supposed gasoline shortage" up to the point it's causing mass hysteria. Gas stations are 30-70 cars deep currently in Midland. Several stations are already out of gas. I have heard from Dallas to San Angelo to Midland it is like this. Complete stupidity on the medias part and ignorance on the publics part in my opinion. I am not trying to add to this nonsense but you may find yourself out of gas if you aren't prepared for the craziness that is going on currently. Just be prepared and be safe.
I will caution you all to fill up at every gas station you can and to travel with an extra full gas can.

There, I edited it to be more clear. I am not suggesting to contribute to the problem, but if you are not prepared for what is currently happening or aware of it, you will have greater problems than what you were expecting.
Simply trying to give you all a heads up. You can do what you wish.
It's stupid...it's was like a wildfire in a windstorm....the panic is creating the shortage. Facebook is a major contributor...but when the run begins there's a choice to make filler up or risk not getting any.
And I was going to be going to Conroe to see my grandson this weekend for his birthday party but now that's on hold. As much as I want to be there, I don't want to be there and not be able to make home because I can't find fuel.

The same thing was happening a long time before Facebook ever showed up. I have seen more about the gas situation today on the news than any forum or Facebook.

I just read this. Thanks for the PSA Theringworm, I had no idea this was going on. I'll be leaving later this morning for Sonora.
Has anyone checked the Love's truck stops along 20? I normally hit either Ranger or Baird along the way although I can make it round trip without filling up as long as I don't do too much running around on the lease. Like rogerh though, I'll probably go ahead and take an extra 5-10 gallons with me. Be safe everyone!
I'm in the hospital right across the street from a big stripes. Th hospital is literally right on the bayfront in Corpus. Their are currently 3 vehicles fueling up. Most at one time has been 5 out 16 pumps.
Same crazy gas situation in Austin. My F150 Raptor only gets 13MPG (on a good day) but ...... my dove lease is only 24 miles away. My Lab and I will be there for the evening hunt.
