Oh my...NO gas shortages here in Houston...we’ve got plenty of gas.

[Clay Moore]

If this shortage is extending that far north, why could you by one drop of gas within 100 miles of DC the day after Ike?

Sounds like someone is trying to create a shortage in Virginia by fanning panic buying.

Need new rule:

Drill States GET gas...

Non-Drill States get in line...
