I had heard of gas shortages in Atlanta, but we were having no problems here. Yesterday, dh called me from Murphy, N.C. where he is building a house. There was no gasoline at the stations!!
I remember the gas shortages in 1976! It was terrible. My dh has to drive his work van about 60 miles round trip to work every day, so he really needs the gas. I told him I would fill up the vettes and he could use them for work. Luckily, he was able to fill up his van at the corner last night, so he should be good for a few days. He spent close to $140 on gas yesterday. He even filled up his old van, just in case.
Things are not looking too good right now.
Running low on gas!!

I heard a story on the radio about a gas station in an Indiana town that ran out of gas. The clerk didn't know how to let people know they were out of gas (before they pulled in to the station) so he/she changed all the gas prices to $5.99/gallon figuring no one would be willing to pay those prices. (please note they had no gas and were not selling it for that) Instead he/she got numerous people pouring in to the gas station to ream him/her out about the price gouging.
