Gas shortage comes to area
Some retailers don’t have premium

A few gas stations in the area are feeling the effects of a rolling gas shortage that has crept up from the deep south.
Locally, the supply issue has been with plus and premium gasoline.
Phyllis Martin, manager at the Traveler’s Food Mart on Happy Valley Road, said they didn’t know when they would get any more.
“We ran out of premium,” Martin said. “And we can’t sell plus because it’s blended.”
The Wal-Mart gas station has also stopped selling plus and premium, but representatives were not available for comment.
Several gas stations still offer plus and premium gas in the area, including KeyStop on South Green Street, Traveler’s Food Mart on the corner of North Race Street and Cherry Street and Speedway next to K-Mart, as of Thursday afternoon.
The terminal that supplies fuel to some stations in Barren County is in Nashville, where residents are still finding themselves in a pinch.
In other parts of the south the shortage has been more far reaching and includes unleaded gasoline. Experts say it could be weeks before the region again has a steady supply of gas.
Two weeks after Hurricane Ike disrupted oil production, a gasoline shortage continues in parts of North Carolina.
Asheville city officials have closed offices, the civic center and all parks and recreation centers because of the shortage.
Some Charlotte stations are rationing gas. There have been fights as drivers accuse each other of breaking in line.
Carol Gifford with AAA says stations are waiting for deliveries, but are unsure how much gasoline they will get. Gifford says it’s important for people not to buy gas unless they need it.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Alan Hirsch with Gov. Mike Easley's office said the terminal in Spartanburg, S.C., that serves western North Carolina was being refilled Thursday. Hirsch said the Charlotte terminal was expected to be refilled Friday.
Trade associations that represent gasoline retailers in Florida, Tennessee and Virginia said Thursday that supplies were still below normal, but the situation had improved.
The refineries that make gasoline also are reporting encouraging news.
