Last week, I was filling up my car at a RaceTrac gas station in Buckhead when I noticed a local TV news crew interviewing a customer at the next pump. At the time I had no clue that Atlanta was in the midst of a gas shortage. I didn’t notice any long lines or fistfights at the pumps that day. Well, that might change this week as local gas stations run out of gas.
According to the AJC.com, there are only a handful of gas stations that still have gas in Atlanta after a pipeline leak in Alabama last week.
The Metro area is feeling the pinch as gas stations hike prices to gouge their customers.
Gov. Nathan Deal signed an order banning gas price gouging at the pumps last week.
Be prepared for long lines at the pump and maybe a few fistfights as people naturally panic when they hear the words “gas shortage”.
But help is on the way. Gas tankers are lining up to service stations that ran out over the weekend. So have patience.
If you think you’re going to run out of gas before you make it to the pump, make sure you purchase only approved gas containers that meets OSHA’s strict requirements for transporting gasoline.
The AJC compiled a list of the stations in Atlanta that are still selling gasoline.
The average price of gas per gallon in the north metro area is $2.47 according to Gasbuddy.com.

That gas station owner up top needs to be locked up. Taking advantage of people during such a hard time.
gas shortage…I call manufactured crisis
Exactly …..
These are problems I don’t need. That premium gas will break your back.
omg let me fill up
I passed by so many stations this morning with bags on all the pumps and no prices displayed. Why am I at work? I should be conserving gas.
I paid $3.09 Saturday morning. I topped off before getting back into the city late last night.
Spoke to my Father in Law in NC He said he filled up several containers and filled his truck up. He found a station that was not gouging prices. YET.
Buckhead gas prices stay high literally … Downtown period …. I would drive my azz to Gresham road for cheaper prices and even there still to me high… Inner city period..
manufactured or not its real for me with this 45 minute each way commute. Yall pray for MEH.
Yes…
Got ya ?
Gas was like $2.16 on Friday, and by Saturday night it was $2.47. It’s definitely price-gouging, since the gas stations already has the gas in their containers already, so it’s not like their cost went up.
#annoying #ripoffcity
This is where we had to end up getting gas from yesterday. Pops area. 30 minutes from the house. bf called back and told me to bust a MOVE yesterday morn. No gas in our part of Raleigh, most of Garner, and parts of Clayton. Its BAD.
Wow. I thought the shortage was just in Atlanta.
Yes! That’s why I went back to regular years ago, when the gas prices went up.
I had to pay 3.29 for premium last night on Fulton Industrial….bastids!!!
We got you ?
Man I work in the middle east and it roughly cost about 4KD or $13 bucks to fill up your car here!
In the 1970s there was a severe gas shortage in America. People were fighting at the pumps, siphoning gas from cars, killing each other over gasoline. It was crazy! I hope we don’t go through that again.
I wish
“Fuel supplies in at least five states — Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas — have been threatened by a pipeline spill in Alabama.”
That pipline that burst transports gas to few southern states. So it’s a few states that are affected right now .
Regular is not good for my German built car.
I hope everyone affected have a lock on your gas tanks. I know it can be broken open, but at least it will make them perhaps think twice.
I just mentioned that I hope everyone had a lock on their gas cap/tanks…because of siphoning.
Nope, it’s hit us hard here in Nashville as well.
I almost died when I had a car that only took premium. That was back when it was $4 a gallon too.
Didn’t they declare Georgia and Alabama state of emergency to avoid gas gauging and running out of gas? http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fuel-supplies-in-at-least-5-states-threatened-by-alabama-gasoline-pipeline-spill/
Trickin in Dubai?
I might have to drive to Florida to get my gas.
My brother called me from Jersey to tell me it was a bad shortage in GA. Blank stare. I didn’t know. My husband and I filled up both cars yesterday. I went to 3 different station before I found one with gas.
Hunny no…not this one…I’m a contractor hun! I works for my coins! U tried it!
$3.29 for premium gas near my job here. Makes me glad I dont drive a car that uses premium gas.
Just another reason to love Hondas.
Yes, but that didn’t help back in the ’70s. People are crazy. They don’t care about a order.
Sand dack is sand dack
What kinda car you got?
Define work.
I HOPE NOT.
Why did I just yell?! ???
Not when u work for the military! Try again
LOL. *holds sign will f*ck for gas*
Is this real? BC last summer has was almost $5 a gallon in Cali. Now it’s almost $3
Ain’t tricking if you got it
I didn’t know either. I’m the type who waits until the needle is way past E before I fill up. I was driving on fumes when I pulled into the station.
I get anxiety when it’s at a quarter of a tank.
Stop playing around with that fuel pump, Sandy!! They are expensive to replace and tend to go when you have an almost full tank. Mechanic be cussing you clear out for having to lift that thing. #GUILTYOFTHIS
Either, BMW or Benz
I am military contractor, in logistics! No all women overseas sell puzzy like the instagram thot!
You are a mess…..
Whoa!
Me too! My light turned on last night… I said chiddddd I got three more days at least ?
To anybody who doesn’t use it already, I always suggest http://www.gasbuddy.com . That site has saved me a good amount of money over the years.
These Arab men love black women…f* u then toss ya ass in the desert… try if u want!
Oh Sandy be fancy.
Wait until you have to replace a headlight or taillight then you’ll trade in your ride for a Japanese or American car.
I just got to second base and you brought us both home ??
True. It’s not helping now either…most of the Quick Trips are out of gas right now.
I shall NOT complain & be thankful that there is gas here. For now, I guess. I won’t complain on the price neither…well try. Side comment…the fool (suspect) that set up those crock pots Ahmad Khan Rahami (28-year-old) is in custody. Shockingly he was shot in the arm while others are killed for far less…but anywho…
Thanks. Now I have to clean my computer screen.
I remember that it went by you license plate. If you plate ended with an odd number, you went on one day and those plates that ended in even numbers went on another day. I was very young, but I remembered.
Hell I pay 3.79 for premium in Chicago. The burbs 3.25 or more.
You’re speaking from experience?
And I think you were only allotted 1 gallon of gas.
Yep…it’s very cheap..no matter what kind of car you drive…ion miss paying US prices for gas.
Headlights only 150.00 on my BMW.
When I first got my beetle I was putting premium in my whip… Had to get my car towed and have it pumped out… My car take regular only… Anything else will mess it up… Now my old Acura was premium only… But not my beetle
Nah but you seem eager just give you a heads up!
Volkwagon or Audi
I learned in antitrust class there is no difference between regular and premium gas tho…
The price I pay to drive a Benz.
My car is 7 years old, hun. I’m good. ?
Just another reason to love Hondas.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Hell yeah
I just said that when my co worker gave an “update” I said he shot at 2 cops and was captured a live??!! Must be nice
Thanks. But my car disagrees.
I had said Audi in my head too.
Good info ??
2009 Benz.
She said Benz …
Would you like me to stand when the national anthem is on?
Lol ?
My old car could indeed damn tell too. How IDK. But the Light wld come on. Damn car stalling out. It was super ugly I put regular in.
Lmao my gas is 2.09, cheaper in the city outskirts. Thank you Lord for the savings!
I’m not a Benz fan, but I’ve been badly wanting to step up to an Acura or an Audi… but they both require premium or midgrade fuel, so I’m just going to stick with my Honda for now.
My car takes $45 to fill up… in Buckhead gas prices.
Nah…I’m not offended by anyone’s right…do as he/she please ?
A damn bullet to the arm. A JOKE. Then pushed his a$$ on a damn stretcher. Should’ve let the pig bleed out AND walk to the ambulance. Family was selling chicken too. This story just gets better & better.
My car doesn’t even have a light. Lol.
I panic if my needle is below a half tank, but so happy when my gas tank is full. I have a fear of running out of gas.
I’m sure your car says premium only if it’s a Benz too …. I drive my dad mini Cooper from time to time (BMW) takes premium only… Expensive to fill up…
I’m surprised that Sandy hasn’t written an article blaming Obama and Hillary for the gas shortage.
Yo car has discernment ?
The govt will spin it and say they needed to keep him alive for intel
On Saturday, Chevron was 2.80 a gallon in my neck of the woods.
Here you would pay about 5KD tops… about 20 bucks…?
If it’s gets too, I’m going see if my 1990 Suzuki moped still works.
Amen ??
If you say so.
What model and year?
They mad about that pipeline they want to run over Native Land so they creating a crisis!!! Stay woke dont believe the bs they just tryi g to bully the Native Indians out of their land again they not showing the protest on yhe news this is BS!@
I ran out of gas last month. Thank God Prince Williams was in the car with me. He lectured me about my gas tank on E as soon as he got in. I told him the needle wasn’t past E yet, and to shut up about it. 10 minutes later, we ran out of gas on the expressway. He was so mad. But he got out and walked to get gas. He’s a great friend. ?
I just had to have a tail light bulb replaced, and the service manager said it would be a couple of bucks. He ended up comping it for me, since I had to wait longer than normal for additional service.
Please Get out the CITY! Cities will be hit hard. Economic structure of shortages is right around the corner. Thought martial law should comes first ? Guess not
Them folks at the dealership showed me where is says it on my gas door on what gas to put in my car.. Now on my truck it says the type of gas to use near the speedometer
He is supposed to be fined for price gouging! !!
I only found out about the gas shortage an hour ago.
$2.09. Wow.
I’m not hating but… all right, yes I’m hating a lot right now! lol
335i coupe
2011
I’m surprised Trump hasnt made a statement yet blaming either of them. We all know Trump is crazy.
The new Audis are fiyah!
Before all of this we were at $1.89 a gallon for regular. Up until Friday.
??????
If she can afford a Benz I’m sure she can afford the up keep.. Js
Is that 9.99 a joke. It’s a law against price gouging
Oh I KNEW it called for premium. But hell I did try it once. Just to see. I indeed SAW. That car meant that ish. Premium gas only.
Wow, that was nice of him. Can he be my friend too?
Where are we to go??? I think about what would happen in a martial law but unless you live in a rural area you will be affected.
my mom and dad were telling me about that, they said here in NC you had to go on designated days based on the first letter of your license plate , like A-M would go on Mondays, Wednesday, Thursday and N-Z would go on Tuesdays, Fridays, etc…..
To the moon
If gas ever got to $10 a gallon, I’d be on the bus ?????
Salaries are higher in Chicago than in Atlanta…so it offsets the .50 higher price in gas. However, the property taxes there are completely unjustified and do not align with income.
That’s my next car ? 2017!!!
Not exactly. Gov. Deal had to enact price controls on gas. Some stations in College Park were charging $4.59 per gallon this weekend.
Yessss
Put me on hun ?
MORNING…DEATH IN THE FAMILY. SEE YALL WHEN THIS PASSES.
HQ IT GOT TO 5 AND WE ALL WERE STILL ROLLING THO
Prayers!
Baby don’t get me started on property taxes in Chicago. It’s higher than giraffe………
Shoot, in middle of the summer it was 1.09. I drove to places when I didn’t even have ish to do. Just out burning fossil fumes
I’M STILL AT WORK…UP AND DOWN EMOTIONS. TEW. DAMN. MUCH.
Pssssh. I’d apply to work remotely for Amazon or the like and walk Lil Butter to school.
My Condolences to you and and your family.
Prayers and condolences, Low ???
I wish they would raise the gas to 10 dollars… I would become a work from home person that very DAY!
I guess he saw that Buttercup. lol
The A4 is sweet.
Im enjoying it but I have a sneaking feeling its about to jump up.
1.85 AT MY FAVORITE STATION IN MISSISSIPPI. SO FAR NO SHORTAGE IN THE MEMPHIS AREA, BUT WE COULD BE AFFECTED.
MY HONDA PILOT IS THE REAL MVP FR
:CHASE: DO BETTER AUNTIE
I paid that much yesterday in Newnan. I put in $12.00 ?.
*After re-reading your comment I realized it was $2.59….still thought that was to damn much.
MY MENTOR HAS THE 2017 A4…SHE FORGOT SHE WAS DRIVING ONE DAY. EXTREMELY INTUITIVE.
MY TRUCK HAS Z…:FACEPALM:
Prayers love

Odyssey.
1ST IN 15 YEARS…ALL THE GRANDKIDS ARE GROWN. THE OLDEST AUNT…SHE RAISED ALLLLL OF US.
I LOATHE MINIVANS
They aren’t charging 9.99 for gas. They put that price up as a way to notify customers that they have run out of gas.
Chile and mines meant regular … My shyt clunked out Chile
The taxes my family members pay for their house there…they could be living in mansions in Georgia.
Love mine
4 sho!

That’s alright with me.lol I’m sure it’s some of us already there lol.
Let me get like 5 days ????
New post …. I’m out … I already see where this going …. You guys have a blessed day ?
WHALE IT’S A HONDA…YOU CAN SIT WITH US
I feel for you, Hun!
I read somewhere that they change the price to 9.99 when they are out of gas lol…i dunno **shrugs**
I agree. SOMEBODY making money off of this!!
Calling in bribes…Collecting on favors…
cant spare ’em…. $250 each ma’am!!
Prayers to the family
What happened Friday – the bombs in NY did this?
I lease so regular gas it is… I have a classic that gets premium but rarely driven!
thats cheap for California!!!!!!
thanks for your hard work!!!
audi’s look cool, but i heard their demographic is metro, professional ghey white males like anderson cooper.
be careful!!!1
ill be on the train or bus or bike if that happens lol
That’s so true. I been thinking about the Audi’s A7 or S5. I just love the way BMW drive though.
Inflation at its finest, WTH is going on in the A omg this is ridiculous
I have one more year of Grad school, and back to Atlanta I come. We plan to keep our property in Chicago.
Cali isn’t being hit because there is a spill in Alabama, so the southeast is being hit hard. But don’t worry prices will go up here too. Oil companies bout they $$$$.
“Crisis” my behind they lying to us again putting folks backs against the wall. If there was a “crisis” shouldn’t it affect the entire US? Our gas in Philly is $2.29, and I was just over Jersey yesterday and paid $1.83. Which tells me whatever the crisis it hasn’t hit all of America, so it may just be price gouging.
pipeline leaked all the gas causing a shortage smdh ..hope it doesnt stretch up to va! im jus gettin my life together from the last gas spike!
i was looking into the A6 with the full led headlights, but i become aware of the high maintenance costs and looked elsewhere
Damn, I said the same thing.
Damn, I said the same thing.
Make sure if you do it to get the maintenance package, without it you will pay out the a$$.
LOL, we all need a Prince Williams!!
All. White. Areas. Smh.
I really want that new ct6 but the center console stack looks kinda basic for the price
I got mine yesterday on the southside
I read about that. The people were peacefully protesting and they had dogs out there attacking them. ..smh
Yeah that seems more logical.
apparently jersey and nyc are ok because we can get our gas from somewhere else…at least that’s what i read
or porsche even opel…quite a few others but they aren’t normally in the states
she can afford her german car with all these ads on here..
That is correct. 9.99 denotes “we ain’t got no gas”!
You noticed that too, huh.
You noticed that too, huh.
I think Jerseymom may be right, it probably was numbers….
I think Jerseymom may be right, it probably was numbers….
Sandra, who so I need to see about getting a gas card ? My account is overdrawn from putting gas in my car last week and I have take my kid to prek and get to these job interviews. Can you help with some info?
Someone is always making money. It aint us.
Thanks for that info
Sure did…
That’s true.
I know its not funny to yall im sure.. but me born and raised and sitting here in los angeles while yall complain about $2.47 *snicker* my laugh of the day ..thanks
Better utilized the Marta…
K_ don’t it just kill you when they start complaining come on over here to our neck of the woods it will scare ya!
Wait, who is Prince William?
1.99 at Costco Cumberland Mall…filled up this morning. ..line was like the club though
Good thing I store up gas in my back up gas containers. I’m good for at least a few months and luckily I work from home and my kids home school so I really don’t gotta do a lot of driving anyway. I hope they fix this. People got places to go Lol
Better start peddling….I live in a state that have bicyclists on every corner…I think there is one bike to every car…They are always coming out of nowhere too…??????????
I had to ride around to three stations before finding one with gas geesh!
They are at the top of the pipeline or beginning and there are other options for them. Likewise those at the bottom end. It’s all the states in the middle that will be affected most GA, SC, NC, TN, etc
Fined my behind, he should be driven out of business….people should never buy gas there again when supplies are reinstated. Wonder where the owner is from. ?
WE WERE 3 NUMBERS 3 LETTERS UNTIL THEY WERE USED UP…SO NEXT WAS 1 LETTER-NUMBERS-1 LETTER AND THE NEWEST IS NUMBER-LETTER-NUMBER TWICE…THERE ARE SO (READ: TOO) MANY CARS ON THE ROAD AND HALF THESE FOLKS AIN’T GOING NOWHERE!
