There is a huge gas shortage here also. Some stations still have no gas and other stations only have premium grade gas. Some stations are putting a $15 or $30 limit on the amount of gas you can get. In Waxhaw 2 of the 3 gas stations are out of gas. My mom had 1/4 of a tank yesterday and could not find an open gas station that did not have lines out the wazoo.
I wander if this is what it was during the gas crisis of 1974 when I was born.
