Pretty alarmist, IMO, but possible.

Spoiler!

Ah, I see. That's what I was (mis)remembering. Octopodes is right about there being a northeast gasoline supply reserve though. That's the first I've ever heard of it, honestly.

Good Lord, we share a road with these people.

Just go ahead and give her a smoke a lighter and let nature take it's course.

A million, not a billion. That sounds like a lot, but it's really not.

Remember when we were energy independent and gas prices were relatively low? Good times, those.

Had to double check myself, and you're absolutely right. It's not a lot, each barrel isn't even enough for 2 full tanks of gas, which is probably why I had the larger number in my head. After all what good is a million barrels going to do you? Ah well, silly me thinking the government was actually prepared :-)

Yep. I had to look it up, but New York alone consumes 350,000 barrels of refined product/day.

Oh damn, I wasn't aware that it was time for panic buying. I'll go fill the tanks on all 3 cars tonight.

You live in flyover country, so you're good. Just be sure to enjoy the 3.50-4.00/gal gas headed your way by Memorial Day!

And don't forget to motherfuck Donger every time you fill up, that's essential!

She is probably just afraid she won’t have enough gas to get to this week’s Mensa meeting. How industrious of her to think ahead.
Does anyone know if thin film polyethylene resins are stable in gasoline? I am sure she checked this with her CRC handbook before loading into her trunk.

I'll admit I've never conducted any studies, either theoretical or applied but I'd imagine its stability when exposed to gasoline is only slightly above styrofoam.
