Fuel supply around Commerce

[Kenny Wigington]

Joe, I got gas at the dragway exit (149) Saturday. It's really hit or miss, all around here, for the last 3 weeks. These people are following the tankers and making hour long lines during the day. Best idea I have on that is to buy early early or late at night. No lines that way. Thats what I have started doing this weekend. News keeps saying couple days.... ?

Thanks Kenny. I am just trying to figure out where to gas up my motor home before getting to the track. I will have my wife and one daughter along for the trip and they will want the generator running all weekend, so I'm trying to plan accordingly.

See you there.

Thanks for bringing attention to this Joe and for your response Kenny. From what I have been reading from AJC.com and other sources, the shortage is impacting N.Georgia and regions in NC, SC and TN nearest to No Ga. It sounds like things should improve in the next couple of weeks, but may not be good for this weekend. I understand that diesel hasn't been in as bad of shape, but it sounds like there have been some stations running out of it too.

I have been through gas shortages before and I really don't want to go out of my way to get into another one!

It may be getting better, as quite a few more stations had gas today, with much shorter lines.

I've been in and around Atlanta for the last 3 days and have probably passed 20 - 30 gas stations and not one has been open.
