Hey Guv.....Call Guiliani....He’ll tell you what you SHOULD do to solve this....
You don’t leave the car running while you wait (until the pumping starts, at least - then the lines start moving). People are lining up hours before the stations even begin pumping; you sit & shiver in the car. NJ.com had pictures of people pushing cars; this morning I saw people needing a jumpstart after leaving their flashers on (with engine off).
People with full tanks on Sunday are running out of gas five days later.
I guess those Volt drivers with their electric cars were pretty smart, eh?
Oh wait, the reason there’s no gas is because there’s no electricity.
Never mind.
I live where it snows a lot. So when a big storm is forecast I fill my truck to the brim, and also fill enough gas cans to fill my truck again. When the power goes out for several days I limit my driving, put my refrigerated foods outside in a cooler so they stay cold, and cook on my grill or a firepit.
What we are seeing in these big cities is a snapshot of what will happen should the electric grid fail on a large scale.
Oh I also have my ammunition stockpiles checked regularly for this very scenario.
