"Everyone has diesel."

Good for those who use diesel.

My Ford Focus goes 330 miles on a tank, or so it tells me. I had half a tank, so I figured I had better go out with the rest of the knuckleheads and fill up so I could get to Luray and back (200 miles). The first station I went to (Shell) was out. I was heading to Costco when I passed a Sunoco with a few cars waiting, so I went there. Price was 2.79, so not gouging. When I got to the pump, there was a box truck on the other side and the gas was barely coming out of the pump. It took me five minutes to get half a gallon. When the guy with the box truck finished, I got normal flow. I have never experienced that before. Turns out Costco was all out anyway, so I was lucky. I only needed about 7 gallons to fill my tank, so between all my antique cars, I figured I could get that much if I needed to go that route. Thankfully, I didn't need to.

I am glad the pipeline is flowing again, but it will take a few days to replenish.
