Imagine if that pipeline was completed and flowing when this happened?
It appears we're not getting the hint here.

It's very very very complicated. I'm sure they wish they could just commandeer equipment, but it simply doesn't work that way. ESPECIALLY if the federal side is involved. | Money solves all those problems.

Driving home after work today was a complete shitshow around any of the gas stations in Richmond. Line-ups around the block at every station along the way. Good thing they've enacted measures to prevent price gouging or you know they'd be pricing it $2.00 immediately.
Got about 100km of range left on the car, should be good for atleast a week. Maybe the rush will have died down by then.

Was first surprised at how large traffic lights are as well. Basically human sized.

Do the gas station pumps automatically stop filling at 30 Litres? I filled up after work but only topped up the rest of my tank which was 25 litres worth

Yeah you don’t realize how big a traffic light is cuz it’s usually high up without anything meaningful to compare its size to.

I ended up going off on a guy @ Chevron on 1st Ave last night.
I'm sitting there waiting to fill up (I actually had an empty tank), only to watch this asshole filling up his Jeep and a few jerry cans at his slow leisure.
Had to get out of my car and give him a piece of my mind...He left quickly thereafter.
A big fuck you if you conduct yourself like that.

Fear and greed
Iq of around 28
Then again, maybe they need gas for their atv, boat, or maybe they just like huffing fumes on their days off

I guess most gas stations haven't put in a cap? The river district Shell has a $45 preauthorized cap

I filled up 30.23L last night so definitely no hard cap.
I did see 2 different gas stations this morning where all the pumps were blocked off so either they ran out, or they're rationing on their own to last until Dec 1st.

To my knowledge, gas stations cannot restrict 30L from inside (where they control things) ... I could be wrong but I don't think so. Someone who works at gas station (like Manic!) can verify or correct. That's why Horgan appealed to use honour system.

Can confirm that gas stations were putting caps on at the pump, however it was $45 max transaction. You realistically could do two transactions. I had to go to 4 stations today to get gas.
First one was cash only
Second was 87 only
Third was 93 only but card was authorized for max $45 then pumps wouldn’t function. Guy beside me tried two pumps and couldn’t get anything.
Last station had a paper note telling people not to put more than 30L but I put in like 30.2 cause my math wasn’t bang on. Most people were ignoring it.

^ no, I meant, can you put a limit of 30L on all pumps automatically, across all pumps? I know you can stop any pump from inside. But that would be a huge PIA to watch every pump and stop it manually when it hit say 30L or $X.
