This is excellent. I'm hoping most of the magats rip themselves apart trying to high beam balance their life choices with the reality of the consequences.

Texas is running out of diesel? That Texas?
Yikes.
Also apparently bunker oil for shipping is now in short supply. Due to it being less profitable. So that going to hit all kinds of international trade pretty hard. It's a bit of a slow motion crash.
Who knew had "Gas Shortage" on their "October Surprise" bingo card? We're gonna party like it's 1979!
"So whatever outrageous price they were charging wasn't high enough to truly reflect market conditions," a free market stan might say. Might even have a point.
That's because TEXAS is SOCIALIST! ONLY Socialists run Out Of Gas!
-Republicans but LITERALLY!
I saw one today where there was no price at all for diesel. Figured it was just a sign glitch or something, as other places have some, but maybe not if their supplier is low.
A few scattered places in California have diesel prices that are higher than $10/gal, so the sign cant show the price correctly
Seen that too. Inconceivable!
almost half expected it to keep the 9/10 in the last column regardless of what was in the first 3 columns
