[QUOTE="John Mastrocco, post: 545264, member: 54595"] Gas stations were running out of fuel in GA due to a broken pipeline limiting the fuel supply - not a refinery problem, mind you. Elsewhere stations ran out of fuel because people would fill up when they didn't need to - over-reaction by consumers very similar to what happened during the oil embargo in 1972-73. There were unusual demands on the distribution system, even though there was plenty of supply they couldn't deliver it fast enough. Not the same as a supply shortage, but the same end result. But in this case, unlike '72-73, the effect was limited to a few areas and not widespread. And quickly rectified with the next delivery truck. [/QUOTE]
