Fuel shortages have widened across the East Coast as consumers continue to panic buy amid the fallout from a cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline last week by Russian ransomware group Darkside.
The 5,500-mile pipeline system transports more than 100 million gallons of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and heating oil per day, or roughly 45% of fuel consumed on the Eastern Seaboard between the Gulf Coast and the New York metro area.
Colonial Pipeline Co. said on Monday that it is aiming to substantially restore its system by the end of the week.
Gasbuddy – which operates apps and websites based on finding real-time fuel prices at more than 140,000 gas stations – is predicting that the national average for gas prices could hit $3 per gallon within the next week. That would make for the highest level of prices seen since 2014. However, the tech research company attributes the increase to the economic recovery associated with the COVID-19 pandemic rather than the impact of the disruption.
You all voted / stuffed illegal ballots for these Democrats in office and all I have to ask you is ‘HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM NOW”
Trump never had these problems and the ones he had he solved them for the betterment of the US citizen.
Bullsh**!!
Poor cyber security did this. Who’s watching out for us? It sure as heck isn’t our sorry excuse for a leader.
Just told by a Business owner that in Princess Anne places raised their gas prices up to $5 a gal over night and quit taking C/C’s.
Democrats, Biden supporters and Trump haters I ask you now “HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW”
Wait till you see all prices jump because higher taxes and transportation cost to businesses. This is not including how high our taxes are going to be raised.
Princess anne is mostly democrat so they deserve to pay that for gas. I hope most have to chose between gas and other essentials and are forced to do without. I hope they can’t pay their electric, their car payments They deserve to suffer the consequences of voting stupidly and suffer THEY will
