Possible Fuel Shortages: May 13 2022

Regarding the news of fuel shortages on the east coast. Please find our major suppliers “Location Updates Links” below.
You will notices there’s NO updates presently but we must proactively plan for the worst case scenario so we highly recommend the following fueling strategy for this area:
When heading anywhere towards the eastern side of the country (Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey) ALWAYS go in with your tanks completely full of fuel period – Do NOT Take The Chance (Risk) of Running Out of Fuel!
* Never assume you can get fuel ahead of you
* Make the extra stop and add fuel to your tanks before heading into this region.
* Limit Layover Time – Idling your tank burns from 1.0 to 1.25 gallons per hour which can make the difference of getting out the effected area with enough fuel in your tanks.
