Headed that direction now. Maybe the problems will be gone when I get there, but I doubt it. Filing up in TN!

Is this just a coincidence?

S.C. passes ethanol law challenged by oil companies - June 26, 2008

And the same thing in NC:

Interesting - things have been a little sporadic around here (eastern Tennessee) lately. When I took the Escape out for a fillup, the station only had regular. When I took the Civic out to another station, they only had premium (which it uses anyway). They said that this would continue for the next week or two until all the refineries in Texas were fully on line and all the pipelines were primed and filled.

Seems to me that we need some contingency refining capacity located somewhere outside of Texas. Say, South Carolina or Oregon. Somewhere where a single event, like a hurricane, cannot disrupt the supply.

The situation appears to be getting a little better in Asheville. My wife got gas last night with only a half hour wait.
