This article is too funny...at least the title. Nashville pumps dry after panic about rumor of no gas. In reality, stations here started to run out of gas AND THEN people started to panic. 85% of our filling stations are out of gas now and it probably won't change for the next few days.
I had 1/4 tank this morning and thought I'd better fill up, it was 7:30 am and the local gas pedaling Home Depot already had cars lined up 10 deep -- they weren't scheduled to open for business for 30 more minutes
There have been no reports of price gouging so far.
