Has there been any problems with the gas supply in the Disney area? Here in Middle Tennessee we are OUT!!! at most stations. It's ridiculous! I was just curious how it was down there.

I don't know sorry. But I had to bring up a gas storie...A wise bus driver once told me...(I know you're thinking, A bus driver eh? But please keep reading 
)...That he always fills his car up on property because the stations off property are actually higher. And I didn't believe it but one day we went into Orlando to grab some supplies (chips, water, pop etc.) and wouldn't you know it, he was right!

There haven't been any issues with supply on property, or in Northwest Orlando. I heard (pre-Ike) that one station in Orlando was requesting people to limit themselves to 10 gallons, but it was a self-imposition restriction, not a requirement.
Oh yeah, and the stations off property tend to be MUCH higher then the Hess stations on property. They're even cheaper than the gas in Winter Garden, so I often fill up on property instead of by my house.

Not sure
When we were there last week the Hess Stations were 3.69 for unleaded. But other local stations had issues with price increases after Ike. I never hear anything about the Hess stations on property. They are very fairly priced with the local stations.

Hey we live in the greater Nashville area, less than an hour south in Columbia. Traveling today around Nashville and Franklin, it was crazy again. Paranoid Nashvillians have stormed the out-skirt towns leaving no gas to be found on a large stretch of I 65. All the way from the Kentucky border to southern Tennessee. I was getting gas at a station off the interstate in Columbia and a guy pulled up from Nashville with 6 or 7 gas cans. All the gas stations in our town near the interstate are packed with cars and many have no fuel left even an hour south of Nashville. The stations in our town off the interstate have plenty of gas. Nashville is a great city! I am shocked the usually intelligent people here were suckered in like this.
However, be warned if your traveling through Tennessee on I 65, I 40, or I 24 this weekend, like thousands of people have to do to get to Orlando from the north, don't let your gas gauge slip low. Fill up in Kentucky or you may be sorry.

True, panic buying exacerbated the problem, but the root of the issue was a supply shortage. Middle and East TN is served by a gasline that originates in LA & TX. The double hurricanes affected their ability to keep the supply going and even after they got the pipeline back up and running, they are still pushing gas at a reduced rate because refineries are down. So, the supply is still not back to norm.There is plenty of gas here... I just filled up today at 3.67 a gallon at hess..

did hess limit you or did you pay with a credit card at the pump that cuts you off at $75? when gas went over 3.80 here i couldnt fill up my tank at once since it stops at $75.

Well, North of Louisville we had a couple of days last week where many of our gas stations were out of fuel. The people working there said that their shippments were delayed, shorted, or cancelled. It only lasted a couple of days, but that sure sounded like shortages to me.

Hilarious... whatever you say. :wave:
The pipeline operators say they are operating a reduced rate. Combine that SHORTAGE with panic buying and you have a problem.

We have been limited to 75 dollars here for quite some time, has NOTHING to do with a shortage. I don't know why that is, it just is.
Mods: Please delete this thread as it serves only to cause a self fulfilling prophecy that will have no purpose other than to facilitate the ability of oil speculators to finacialy rape us and further disrupt our economy. The good honest people of the world have enough enemies that we need not be to each other.
Wow! and to think all I really wanted to know is if when we fly down to Tampa if we might have any trouble refilling the rental car ourselves of if we should opt to let the rental agency worry about it. :shrug:
Peace out! Not my intention to rile everyone up. :wave:

We're talking about semantics here - however you are linking an incorrect relationship with the word "reduced" and "shortage". A shortage suggests a lack of supply based on demand, a reduction just means a decrease in supply (does not necessarily mean that there was a demand for the supply that was reduced). The situations in TN and KY were isolated, and should not be considered evidence of true shortages. Had everyone behaved normally, the reduction in the pipeline volumes would not have created artificially low inventories of fuel.
