It seems to have only affected this part of the country, but for the last couple weeks, since that one hurricane, we've been having gas shortages here. It's not that one can't find gas for filling up one's car (at least, here. I've heard it's worse in Charlotte), but that, for any given gas station on any given day, one can't be sure till one drives by, whether or not it will be out of gas. It feels interestingly unusual to see empty gas stations with bags over all the gas nozzles, and stations with signs taped to the pumps, saying that only regular is available, not plus or premium.

Gives one an eerie inkling of how it might feel, if the gas supply were completely cut off.
