Look on the bright side, oil prices are falling as well.

What gets me about these supposed pipelines being down is the fact that the tank farms are
sitting full of fuel. They make out like it comes straight out of the pipeline and into a truck,
sorry folks it doesn't work that way. My sister talked to a truck driver last Friday and he said
the tanks at the Greensboro tank farm were sitting full. Folks it's all a big lie and one more
chance really make some extra money because they saw the oil price tumble coming, the
storm just gave them an excuse.

How do they measure the fuel when they transfer it from tank to truck ?

Are you talking about those huge round tanks of a "Tank Farm"? I have no idea,
one would assume with a metering device or by weight. They meter the fuel oil
that they put into our farm fuel tanks, so they should have a metering device on
the tanks.
