Sign in to disble this ad
I went to the QT on Roswell Road this morning @ 5:00 am and they had gas. QT is only servicing 50% of their stores right now and it is always the same 50% to maintain continuity. The QT guy said they get a couple of deliveries every day and usually around 4:00 am they get a truck in. This is the QT just north of me and almost at Northridge. They only had regular unleaded though, which my car hates but......
It is in sandy springs about 1 mile south of the river just before you cross over into roswell. |

also for everyone, you can search for gas by zipcode:
www. jam-code. com
i do not know how acurate this is but at least it is something. |

|  | Life is Tough. Laugh more. Moderator | | Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Warwick, Rhode Island, USA | | | The news (snooz) last night claimed that refiners in the
Gulf had cut back production previously as a result of lowered
usage (due to recent high prices).
A talking head analyst noted that they had no incentive to
produce and stock pile product.
I'm not sure I buy that analysis. One would think the profits
lost by having half or more of the outlets in the region closed
would translate to a lot of lost profits.
No doubt, the retailers are very unhappy.
I survive the gas shortages durng the Arab Oil embargo.
Summer 1978 iirc. I was able to fill up my van once, and
drove a motorcycle off of that for 4 weeks till things got back to normal.
Good luck with staying mobile.

There was only one other station between the highway and my house that had gas, and there was a long line at that one. On a corner, too, so the line was spilling into the street and preventing people from turning.

I wonder why we didn't hear about any drilling stations having a spill during the hurricane... They are apparently designed well, we just need more.
