School diesel fuel reserves dwindling (Pensacola)

The Port of Pensacola is expected to receive about 840,000 gallons of gasoline today, but no diesel fuel deliveries are scheduled this week.

Escambia School Superintendent Jim Paul said school will have to be canceled if, in a worse-case scenario, diesel for the district's 400 or so buses does not arrive within the next seven or eight days.

Escambia and Pensacola officials, including Paul, gathered Monday morning for a conference call with state Department of Environmental Protection officials.

"In a few days, it's going to get a bit dire," Paul said after the call, conducted in County Administrator George Touart's office. "We need fuel."

1. If Fla didn't have one of the worst cyclist fatality

records in the US, I would say, let them ride their bikes.
But first let';s fund the 'Safe routes to school' act, and then kids on bikes in Fl might be a worthwhile suggestion.
