I went to three stations which were sold out in Tampa. I went to three where the lines were about 3-4 deep. I finally got in line and ended up with a nasty look from someone and she told me to move. I don't argue with elderly women, so I moved and waited again in line. Went in the store and got slammed in the ribs with a twelve pack of coke. I'm tired.

LOL, if that old bag was nasty enough to tell you to move, I think I'd have told her to bug off and stand in the nasty old bag line. Sheesh.

No gas on Treasure Island either and the only gas I've seen anywhere in st. pete or seminole is "premium grade"... and the station attendants don't know when the next shipments might arrive. Many were confused that Jeb said their was no shortage, yet they are out. Rumor or not, the last few days' run on gas in Tampa Bay has now caused a real, not imagined, local shortage!

Smokin -- You may want to call the RaceTrack in Cape Canaveral (near 528). I haven't checked today, but they had all pumps open last night with no lines.

Bj's has gas, Little Champ on Newfound Harbor has premium grade only. I have a feeling this will get worse before it gets better.
