This morning the 3 identical gas stations, within 3 miles, were all out of everything except premium.

Yes it is. That's our American slang ... gas comes from "Gasoline" [1], which is the brand name that was popular in the United States (similar to the "Petrol" brand name used in the UK and its territories).Nappy wrote:

And, before you start bashing our American slang, you need to first stop calling your grills a little girl's doll. Deal?
[1] In 1900, the word "gas" (when used) referred to a highly combustible vapor that powered things such as street lamps ... the "-oline" comes from the Greek "elaeon" which means "rain" or "oil" ... thus the brand "Gasoline" simply captured the notion of a flammable liquid. The word was never trademarked in the U.S.
The only reason the stations are running out of gas is because the dumb fucks all panicked THINKING that the stations will run out and everyone floods the stations at once and then the stations DO run out because the demand has increased by so much.
