[s-cars] fool crunch

[John Cody Forbes]

I wouldn't count on that one Bob (see my picture post on the other list). 
What few stations have fuel also have a 30 minute wait at best. Every 
non-politician on the news says it'll be 2 weeks to a month before that 
changes, the politicians come up with some BS about 'there's a huge shipment 
being delivered as we speak'. I would advise that you start looking just 
north of Charlotte, then if you get all the way to Charlotte before you stop 
(or want to top up) give me a call and I'll check the local radio station's 
website to find you some fuel. When are you heading down and back?
