I wonder if I take down the sign if that will make people stop coming,” said Oloo Makoyo, a cashier at the BP gas station at 1201 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., which ran out of gas around 6:50 p.m. Saturday. Most Chapel Hill gas stations ran out of gas this weekend, and some are still unsure when they might get their next shipment. The shortage is a result of disruptions in supply following Hurricanes Hanna and Ike.
Two consecutive hurricanes have hit North Carolinians where it hurts the most — at the gas pump.
Hurricanes Hanna and Ike hindered the ability of suppliers to distribute gas and created an acute shortage in the state.
Most gas stations in Chapel Hill have run out and some are unsure when their next shipment is coming in.
Oloo Makoyo, a cashier at the BP gas station at 1201 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, said the station was out of gas by 5:50 p.m. on Saturday, despite receiving a shipment earlier that morning.
“I’ve been around the gas industry, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said.“I didn’t realize the magnitude. I didn’t realize everyone would be out.”
The BP received another gas shipment at noon Sunday, but other stations weren’t so lucky.

Do you feel stupid yet?

You're such a dimwhit, Mary. The information refers to a situation from several days ago. Saturday was September 27. Do you realize that today is October 1? D No, I guess not. So back to your tortured life of another day, another crisis. Seek the help of a psychiatrist Mary.

You need new glasses. It clearly states September 29, which would have been day before yesterday, which would have been the day I was talking about.

I am really beginning to worry about you. You seem obsessed. I hope you can get on with your life.

Radar, Mary is a certified nut case. She's unable to read that the statement in the article she herself quoted was made on Saturday, September 27. Obviously, everything turned around on Monday. Its now Wednesday, but she's still at it. Mary has no excitement in her life. Leave the old gal to her own delusions. She's pitiful.

Are you anal? The date of the article was September 29l. Maybe you need new contacts. I don't understand your failure to comprehend a simple date. It isn't difficult.

Gas Shortages Plague the Southeast
Hurricane-related disruptions in the supply of fuel from Gulf Coast refineries have led stations in Atlanta and elsewhere to run out of gas
by Brian Burnsed

Barry Tipping spent three days searching for gas in Atlanta. The quest seemed to be in vain, as the 44-year-old tried nearly 20 gas stations, many with their pumps draped in bags, or waits that stretched to more than an hour. Twice when Tipping did find stations with gas, he sat in a long line only to see the station run out of premium unleaded before he reached the pump. So here was Tipping on Sept. 30 happily paying $4.33 a gallon to fill his silver Mercedes at an Exxon (XOM) station in the northern part of the city, a sense of relief on his face. "I'd pay $5 a gallon if I had to," he said.

Tipping's not alone. The Southeast is experiencing a hurricane-triggered gas shortage that has thrown the region's gas stations into chaos. All but two of the Gulf Coast refineries that were shut down by Hurricanes Ike and Gustav for 10 days are now back up, but the delay in fully refilling the pipelines to the region is forcing many to spend time circling the city in search of stations that have received a fresh shipment of gasoline. And in some instances, tempers have flared: Motorists tell their stories over Atlanta's airwaves, claiming they've seen fistfights and fender benders among drivers jockeying for position before the gas runs out.

In many instances, a new shipment lasts mere hours as motorists converge for the stuff. "Motorists reacted by engaging in some panic buying," says Geoff Sundstrom, a fuel price analyst for the auto club AAA. "They start topping off their gas tank, they come in with a boat or an RV that they don't intend to use, or they're driving up with six fuel cans and trying to fill those."

What is the date of this article? Read very carefully. Hint - it's at the top of the article. See - I knew you could figure it out with a little help.

Mary, we all realize you're addicted to creating crisis, even when there is none.

The Chapel Hill article you quoted says: "Oloo Makoyo, a cashier at the BP gas station at 1201 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., which ran out of gas around 6:50 p.m. Saturday." Do you know what date last Saturday was?

On Monday, as another poster stated, the Chapel Hill area was fine according to that area's newspaper. Yet, on that same day, you were stating there was a "severe shortage" in Chapel Hill. Your statement was based entirely on what one sick girl told her mother. Huh? Can you see Alaska from your house?

The "severe shortage" you're experiencing is in your brain cells.

Amen. Definitely deluded. Could be the gray matter is fried from all the dope. Could be alzheimer's.

Joe, you are obviously in a drug-induced coma. Everything I have posted has been from newspapers or other media reports, yet you continue to deny the reality of the situation. You do so at your own peril. I would suggest that if you see a gas station with gas, that you fill up while you can. Silly boy. You have been warned.

Oooooh. A warning. We're all shaking in our boots now that we've been warned by Mary. Peril! Peril! The sky is falling!

No, the sky isn't falling. We are just low on gas supplies. Try to stay on topic.

I haven't had any trouble finding gasoline. Nor have my business associates. We drive every day.

If you actually drove a car and you actually got out to see for yourself what's going on in the world, you'd see gas stations with gas and cars driving the roads and Interstates, just like always. Since all you do is stay home with a rabid need to make up your next personal crisis, you wouldn't have a clue about reality.

Mary, you're the one who is in so much peril. Its the peril of your own mind.

Hot Spot and Enmark out on Leicester. But I am glad it seems to be getting better. Arden seems to have gas at most stations now. Greenville spotty - some stations out. Don't know if Charlotte is any better or not. Anybody have any news from Charlotte area?

ROFL. I see you're multiple personality too. A couple of posts back you're warning us that we're all in peril. Now suddenly, all is better. Get some psychiatric help, Mary.

I just post media reports and let you decide.

If you have no problem finding gas, then you don't need to worry. I said there was no gas at Hot Spot and Enmark. Would you like to call them to verify that?

If you think I said all is better, and that makes you feel better, then that is fine. But really I think you are confused. Maybe things will be clearer to you tomorrow after a good night's sleep. I hope so. You are starting to sound schizophrenic.
