[MR] OT: Gas availability in Atlantia

[David Chessler]

 As you get further north you will have less trouble. There is no shortage at
all in Northern Virginia or the Washington DC area. Reports (see URL below)
seem to indicate that the problem is limited to the Carolinas, Georgia, etc.

The problem seems to be lack of shipments from the gulf area. A large shipment
supposedly arrived in Georgia today, but it will take some days, perhaps 2
weeks, until things are back to normal.

The shortage has been felt strongly in places like Nashville, Tenn.;
Tallahassee, Fla.; and North and South Carolina. In Atlanta, many stations are
still out of gas, and others have long lines.

 I'm planning on driving from Georgia to northern Virginia (I-85 and 95) next
week and Im concerned with gas availability. Gas stations here have been
running out, and today I felt lucky to wait in line only 15 minutes to get $50
in gas -- the limit at that station, which was the only one in the
neighborhood with gas. I've heard from reliable sources that the pumps ran dry
in Hickory NC this week, but that gas in northern Virginia was plentiful. So
... am I just being paranoid, or will it be difficult to find gas in Atlantia
next week? Enquiring minds want to know. Thanks.
