Because it took a good 10 hours of "screwing around with the settings" to get it right, and nobody bothered to document the settings that work, and the guy who did it last time left for a better job....

C’mon man … it’s just an old dog kennel in the corner of my property
(not close to house or garage) …
I heard the news and filled up both Camrys yesterday. Local Speedway was 2.75.9.
War isn't coming to cyberspace, it's here.
There has been a hot war in cyberspace for over a decade.
That fact isn't new, though it may be for people who haven't been paying close attention.

In the meantime - Gas Buddy shows that every single station in Virginia Beach is out of gas. As my wife drove to work, every station that she passed, and there are over a dozen, was closed, with plastic on the pump handles and cones in front of the pumps.
There is no gasoline to be had here, and I suspect that's true for many areas that relied on the pipeline for fuel.

I’ve seen videos of fights at gas stations cause of bad attitudes and frustrated motorists.

And I'm pretty sure you're interested in how jet fuel is getting to airports. I've heard that a lot of pipelines go directly to airport fuel depots, although they're not major pipelines.
Wondering how this is affecting deliveries to military bases. The US Navy still uses JP-5? And I guess JP-8 is satisfied with Jet-A plus additives. I suppose military bases also have a lot more reserve fuel (relative to their normal needs) than airports.
Gas delivery to a 7-11 right down the road from me...
They had no gas last night.
Got a delivery sometime this am. . likely between 2-330 am. I Know I have seen the Eagle trucks there at that time.
There's gas... Just only so many delivery trucks. Spencer Brothers and other fuel distributors have gasoline. It's just very hard to get it delivered right now.
I saw a delivery truck at a station in town too.... At 12 pm.
Where are you in Virginia?
Airlines are adding fuel stops to normally non-stop flights to fuel up at an airport in the midwest where fuel supplies are normal. They can then land at an east coast airport which may not have fuel, but there will be enough left in the plane to fly out.
That's certainly not typical. I know there has to be some sort of reserve, but airlines typically want to fly their aircraft relatively light because moving that weight around isn't free.
I'm in Edgefield, SC, just outside of Augusta, and it's hit and miss on gas. The two gas stations here in this small town, that may get a truck every 2 weeks, are out of gas. The ones right off I-20 still have gas though a couple only have premium. I have to drive to Concord, NC on Friday to join up with Elite for the 4-wide Nationals at zMax. I have a full tank in the Mustang that will get me there and back with ~1/4 tank to spare. I will be hypermiling it, coasting when possible, keeping the speed down, and idling as little as possible. Others should be doing the same, not hoarding fuel.
Is it allowed to bring a plane fully fueled into an airport and then move them out of the plane and into another plane? Say you have a short flight from mid-west to the south, you typically would fuel it 1/2 way full to save fuel, but now you fuel it up 100% then land in the south with 3/4 full, and you pump out 1/4 of it and put it in another plane leaving the south, or sell it to another company.
Many crises ( weather , geographic ( war , etc. ) ) related to fuel / oil of decades past and nothing was / is learned . It's a vicious cycle .

If their techies are anything like mine, even with documentation they still can't get it right...
The airlines I worked at prohibited selling fuel to another airline once it had been in an aircraft. We could defuel an airplane and reuse that fuel in one of our own aircraft but that was only done in maintenance. We'd never truck that fuel down to the flight line and put it into an aircraft down there. I doubt there are any airlines that would accept defueled fuel from another operator as there's just too much liability.

Florida gets very little from Colonial yet.....we too are out of gas everywhere.
Our country is so ill prepared for any tiny blip on the radar. Lord save us. The nature of our people will be (already is) our very worst enemy. At least we will be able to shoot each other.Many crises ( weather , geographic ( war , etc. ) ) related to fuel / oil of decades past and nothing was / is learned . It's a vicious cycle .
Sorry, just old man yelling at the clouds, LOL.
