Most gas stations still have plenty of fuel in the tanks, but they have used all their ration for the day. Gas stations aren't stupid. They don't drain their tanks. They would be risking a serious crisis if they couldn't get gas for a couple of weeks. They do have enough to sell per day until the next tankers roll in. The best thing to do is to not panic like everyone is doing, and try to fuel at less convenient times. On the way to and from work are very bad times. Everyone wants to get it and go. Go on a late lunch break or something. Most stations will temporarily shut down also to prevent overcrowding and traffic problems. As they all stick together and price gouge all of us, they've already thought of the issues we're facing now. They just want you to think that they're doing as much as they can for you, as you're getting scrooed.
