Just curious as to how many areas around the country are low on gas or out? After work tonight, I passed 7 gas stations that were out.
Stopped to get a beer and gas, of course they were out, but the girl behind the counter said the station about a mile and half down the road has some. I was down to 1/3 of a tank, so not knowing when supplies will be back to normal, I took a chance and drove over and found some at $3.99/gal up from about $3.55/gal 2 days ago.
Our local news at 6pm showed one local station jacked up prices to $5.49/gal. As I went to work this afternoon, one supermarket still had their price at $3.54/gal, the line for it was probably 100 yards long, plus I didn't have time to stop.
Anyone else having the same problems? I'm the the Tri Cities of Tenn btw.
