Gas stations ran out because the media hyped it and caused a panic. People everywhere are filling every gas can they gave or can buy. Drove from NE Alabama to Bristol VA today...every station had vehicles lined up and gas cans everywhere. I burn diesel so I didn’t have much problem. Still...filled 3 5 gal jugs to make sure I can get home.
I was just out and about in East TN...no more cars at the pump than usual, no closures anywhere. The media’s hair is on fire, though.
