Here in SW Georgia, there actually is a problem of supply right now. Last night about 1/4 of the gas stations had no gas at all and I'd say at least 1/2 of stations had no regular gas and this has been going on since last Friday at least. This is because our gas comes directly from the area affected by Ike and the pipelines were shut down over the weekend at least and I'm not sure if they are running now. In this instance I don't feel your advise about only putting in a few gallons is right. Instead I feel that you should probably fill-up no matter what the price and then conserve. I personally would rather pay a few extra dollars and have gas than to fill-up just enough and not be able to find gas a few days later.

I just don't understand why, just four days after the hurricane, people don't have anything to eat. Think beyond today. Think about how you will survive under difficult conditions. A well stocked pantry (with extra water) and a fueled car will serve you well in stressful times. I couldn’t agree more.
