Gas

I haven't filled up when I didn't need it (i.e. topping off my tank at every opportunity).  I know many have which is causing problems.  I have been to 10 gas stations today, no gas.  Unfortunately marta doesn't come near me, or I really would use it.  At this point I don't think I could drive to the train and make it.  Ugh.  Well, at least someone has gas.

There are at least 3 that have had gas the entire time in Brookhaven.  (Just east of Buckhead).  The stretch from the North Druid Hills off of 85 to Buford Hwy has 2 stations and if you make a right onto Buford Hwy, there is a QT less than a mile up the road. 

I haven't had any issues getting gas.  The funny thing is that as I was driving up Peachtree towards Ashford Dunwoody I saw a line of people waiting to get gas (it was about 20 cars deep).  Ironically, I had just passed two stations with no wait and gas.

Hmmm... maybe the reason we have no gas up north is that we use more by driving downtown/midtown/buckhead everyday for commutes.   That and we panic like fools. (although not me)  Okay, I just called a QT in North doraville and they have gas and I may make it there.  On fumes.  And then I'm moving.  Just kidding.

The QT at the corner of 92 and Crabapple Road in Roswell has had gas continuously this week, but the lines are long.  However, they also have employees outside on traffic control duty.  My husband had to wait there for awhile yesterday but said it moved relatively quickly.

ETA:  Oops!  I forgot to actually respond to the question posed in the OP about workout patterns .  Personally, it hasn't affected me much since I've been home with a sick child all week.  However, working in the fitness industry, I can tell you that participation in group ex classes and the overall number of "swipes" (how many people check in at the desk at a gym) has decreased from the norm quite a bit at some of our locations this week and we are attributing it to the gas situation.

The shortages a spotty. I suspest that gas stations near interstate exits are getting more gas because of easy access and higher volume. Try near one of the interstates. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, I've been riding my bike to work. (I live 3 miles away) I think things should ease in the next week. Already, things are easing where I live (little five points).

I was actually hoping that it would get so bad that everyone would start riding their bikes.  I've got a chariot.  I can do everything I have to do by biking (to preschool, grocery store, etc.).  As Reality Bikes likes to say:

GAS SUCKS!
