Thread Name: BS: why are there gas lines
Subject: RE: BS: why are there gas lines
As someone in NJ who is in the middle of this issue, Lady Hillary and I, as well as our parents, all gassed up before the storm hit. We have topped off when passing lines that were short or nonexistent. Some of the stations we have seen have external generators plugged in to operate the station.
The logical thing for me would be to expect that the police would move with gensets from station to station so all of the stations could dispense until they run dry. After doing that they could cycle through, leaving empty stations waiting to be refilled by tankers.
Doing it that way, all the stations could do business, all of the stations could keep fresh fuel in their tanks and all of the fuel could be made available.
