Default Houston Crew... what is gas looking like in the area?

Is gas completly drained out? Or are supplies availiable? Im in the wichita falls area, and I'm curious what the feasibility is of getting back into town would be?

Wait a few days for them to refill the stations along the freeways. I'm betting it'll be a week or two before all the corner stations have gas.

The Sam's in Katy has gas (Fry rd). HOWEVER, there were 4 lines that reached from the pumps all the way across the parking lot to the Best Buy. I haven't noticed any others on Fry/Mason with gas.

I am in the Highway 6 and FM 529 area and it is completely out within a 20 mile radius from what the sheriff's office told us. I filled a 55gallon drum on Wednesday night along with 4 5 gallon plastic containers. The worse part now is I don't need it because we did not lose power. I bought 87 and I can not use them in my vehicles. That kind of sucks but I am sure I can find people that really need it.

Gas lines are starting to go down here in Katy. Stations are still full of cars, and not all stations have gas, but the lines aren't blocks long anymore.

Ls1Joe - Why would you buy a bunch of 87 if your car doesn't use it?

Yup, lines in Katy are MUCH better. I'm still going to wait until tomorrow or tuesday to get gas (when I'm empty). Still have 1/4 tank left.
