I've seen posts before about some limits on diesel purchases, etc. but that seems like a month or so ago and haven't seen comments about that recently. I've not seen any signs of that in California and assumed it was because of high prices here and many drivers like our son Michael fueling up outside of California (he's home time now and nearly full). Today I saw at Flying J/Pilot at I-5/Hwy 12 (Flag City) was out of diesel completely. A truck was unloading fuel but it must have been gasoline as a truck driver talked to the guy unloading fuel and she then drove off. I could not see the fuel island across the road at Loves to tell if they had fuel or not. FYI - cash price was posted as $6.199.

Are any of you fueling up early to make sure you don't run into situations with fuel not being available?

I've not seen any limits of purchase or any shortages since being in CA many weeks ago.

The prices, though.....? "Thanks Joe!"

Joe plus Gavin New some. Fuel is cheaper in Hawaii than California right now.

I’ve seen no shortages in the southeast.

I’m running in the northeast right now and while I’m shocked by the prices, there seems to be no shortage of fuel.

No shortages where I am; Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

I've been Midwest, northeast, south and west coast in the last couple weeks, haven't noticed shortages but plenty of insane prices. Few months ago there were shortages at some TAs and love's but it was a while back
