Gasoline shortage:(

cn555ic · 10-31-2012, 05:44 PM

There seems to be a gas shortage everywhere in Brooklyn
...The couple of gas stations with gas has lines that are 30 deep waiting to fill up....WTF

Getting really serious here man...I need some gas for my daily beater and it looks as though I have to siphon some gas out of my BMW with premium gas in there which has about 3/4 of a tank full...

Crazy and chaotic, people arevfighting over who is cutting on line and shit...Cops all over as traffic is to a halt, horns beeping everywhere.

BMVeh · 10-31-2012, 06:51 PM

best of luck

just4kickz · 10-31-2012, 06:54 PM

gotta drive farther for gas/shorter lines

Slops · 10-31-2012, 07:40 PM

jeezzus... best of luck man, sounds like a shitty place to be right now. I'm pretty sure i'd skip town for a while till shit gets back to normal if i lived there.

Bimmer100_ · 10-31-2012, 08:07 PM

Same deal in parts of Queens..Hopefully I can find an empty station tomorrow morning before work...

onebadmofo · 10-31-2012, 08:12 PM

Same thing on the island. The Costco gas station had to get cops involved last I heard.
Good thing I don't have to drive anywhere soon.

Bagelfast · 10-31-2012, 08:35 PM

So crazy out there!! i have 5 gallons of E85 stored and both my cars are at half tanks, 70% of gas stations are closed and the rest have hour waits!

nrrm1127 · 10-31-2012, 08:47 PM

Gentlemen, I know it's out of the way, but Westchester has got a decent number of stations operating with minimal lines

pepsih · 10-31-2012, 09:28 PM

what about the bronx ??

JoeyBananaz18 · 10-31-2012, 09:30 PM

I'm in Whitestone, I don't think we have any problems. I'm going out in a half hour and ill check them out.

pepsih · 10-31-2012, 09:50 PM

OMG its horrible. what a day. I called BMW BAYSIDE to make sure that they are opened, yes they are. I went there to pickup the engine oil and guess what... CASH ONLY.. and of course with my luck i only have my Credit Card.. OK..

I went to a gas station in brooklyn... ONLY REGULAR.... so i go to another one and guess what.... YES AGAIN CASH ONLY... So im going to my bank.... Something wrong with the system and i cannot withdraw any money. ( only 14 miles left on my tank)
I came back to my house, took my bike with a 5Gallon empty tank and hunt for gas !! and i found it by the LIE. 5 gallons of SUPER gas ;P
on my way back i saw this BEAUTIFUL ORANGE E92 M3

N55 · 10-31-2012, 10:03 PM

I stocked up on about 25 gallons of gas on Saturday for my generators and such. If you were only closer..

JoeyBananaz18 · 10-31-2012, 10:30 PM

I checked all the major stations in Whitestone: Exxon, Gulf, Getty, and Shell. All are fine now for anyone who is out.

iamkit · 10-31-2012, 10:37 PM

^ can I get a address on any of those gas stations?

PM'd you back

Getting PMsfor the stations in Whitestone. Hope these help....

The gulf is on Francis Lewis blvd between 17th road and 18th ave.

Te Exxon is on the northbound service road of the cross island parkway, just after the Whitestone shopping center.

The Getty is on clintonville street and 154th street.

The shell is farther up clintonville, just before willets point.

jce92 · 11-01-2012, 06:45 AM

Good thing I filled up to the max at edgewater nj on daturday before flood.

Some parts in Flushing seem fine as well

Tommy-G · 11-01-2012, 08:02 AM

**NJ update**

We are now seeing many NewYork plates in lines at gas stations in NJ. Guys, save the effort. The closest areas of NJ are still flooded and going west is what everyone is doing. The stations that have gas have 3-4 hour lines.
If there is no gas people are waiting overnight in lines hoping tankers show up.

I work almost into Pennsylvania and there are good 1 hour lines out here. Just stay home if at all possible.

ihc95 · 11-01-2012, 08:26 AM

Yup ny guys don't waste your time. 90% of gas stations around here are closed. Also Christie ordered all stations to close due to rioting. The stations who are staying open have 4-6 hour lines. It's a mess over here.

Bagelfast · 11-01-2012, 08:55 AM

Anyone want to buy 5 gallons of E85, might need it more then me.. I have a E30 mix in my tank, dont need the extra 5 gallons. 25 bucks its yours!!!!

hemi to e90 · 11-01-2012, 09:51 AM

woodbridge this morning was a okay. the hess on rt184 was free and clear

eric@helix · 11-01-2012, 09:58 AM

Good luck, everybody, and stay patient. I've been impressed how much people have stuck together and helped each other out in this disaster. Things are more or less back to normal for this part of Philly. To our NY/NJ brothers: hang in there and speedy recovery.

cn555ic · 11-01-2012, 10:34 AM

I am about to siphon gas out of cars parked on the streets! Lol
I am getting to the point that I will have to siphon the 3/4 tank out of my BMW. Crazy shit. Now I see lines that are 5-6 hour waits. This is getting crazy.
