I have provided a few links which have comments/articles about this supposed rumor.

Not sure what/whom to believe. The governor's office says they will investigate the rumors. Investigate? Geesh. Like she doesn't have anything better to do.

It was crowded at a few gas stations in the northwest valley this morning but nothing like the last time it happened.

Time will tell.

Panic at gas pumps tonight after pipeline rumor

The governor's office tonight is telling motorists to remain calm following a rumor of a gasoline pipeline break. The rumor apparently started when a Valley radio station deejay told drivers to rush to pumps after a caller reported a new break in Kinder Morgan's Tucson-to-Phoenix gas pipeline. Governor Napolitano's spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer says the rumor is false. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0107kinderrumors-ON.html

Same old cynical crap. Last summer, oh, just around Labor Day, there was a break in the pipe in Phoenix, and the power outage on the East Coast. Yep, just around Labor Day when lots of people are vacationing, and just in time to jack up gas prices to over 2 dollars a gallon. Must be the oil companies sending out the breaking crew to jack up prices in California some more.

Will this be called,"The big PINTO FLAP?

A truck driver called into coast to coast last night saying that the call went out on the police scanner for the squad cars to go fill up thier tanks and he thinks someone listening started the panic. he said it got weird real quick. i dont live in arizona so i dont know much about the last gas hubalaloo.
the truck driver said that it just maybe that the guys in the field were bringing squad cars back in on empty so the dispatcher was told to tell everyone to fill em up before coming back to HQ.

I was driving home from work yesterday, saw a queue at a station and nearly did a double take. The only reason there was as bad a shortage last time was the widespread panic. When you see folks waiting in line to pay $5 bucks to top off. That's panic for you. Thank you Phoenix media...
