Notice how this story is so hushed up? Friends in California, Utah, Georgia, and Pennsylvania had not heard about this problem we are having.

California? Utah? Georgia? Pennsylvania? There's no sign of a gas shortage here in Sedona either. Right outside on Highway 179, there are a Shell, an Exxon and a Chevron. Cars are filling up with no waiting, regular at $1.77, and you wouldn't know that in the streets of Phoenix people are eating each other for the gas in their tanks. But I was in town over the weekend, and I saw every gas station closed. It's real, but I still don't believe it.

Found this at another site: http://www.phxnews.com/fullstory.php?article=6393 "I drove to the tank farm at 51st Ave and Van Buren. I spoke to the Kinder Morgan site manager. He is baffled because their tanks are full. Fuel tankers are coming in at the normal pace, even slower than usual.

He suspects that the gas stations running out are caused by widespread media panic. People are topping off tanks and filling containers of gas when they would not normally do so, causing a large drain at stations."

News Conference to be at 3:00 as per Channel 5.
