Pipeline affecting most of the east coast.

People are morons. Waiting until there is a shortage and THEN going out to buy......

Here' s a hint people.

Buy gasoline when the price is low.

And before you go off parroting the bullshit someone told you - "gasoline goes bad in a few months" --- let me clue you in.

That is utter bullshit - and I know this from EXPERIENCE - and many times - the latest being less than a half hour ago. I just started a 2001 Saturn SC2 that had been sitting in an unheated garage for 21 months with the same gas in the tank and it fired right up and ran perfectly. Almost 2 years.

Reason - it is a closed fuel system as are almost all fuel injected cars. Gasoline only breaks down in a vented storage condition.

If you keep it in a sealed steel container - like a 55 gallon drum - it will keep well over 2 years.

I know. I have been doing it for over 30 years - and never had a problem - and never wasted my money on any stabilizing additives.....

Now - your lawn mower is a different story. It' s vented. Gas can go bad in under a year.

So Ziploc baggies aren't a good idea?  I figured they'd be safer than a grocery bag.
