[SEL] OT: Gas Crunch?

[Lew Best]

Worst thing about this is the prices of EVERYTHING will be affected;
everything we use is shipped from somewhere to somewhere!

Subject: [SEL] OT: Gas Crunch? 

Today there was a run on gas stations here. A rumor ran all around that 
a big fuel distribution center in Knoxville has shut down. Every gas 
station had cars lined up down the street. Prices jumped. At a station 
where I bought regular gas last week for $1.459 right before the NASCAR 
race here, it had gone to $3.109, and they sold out. My wife asked me 
to fill our son's car this evening, and I had to drive all over town to 
find a station that was open with any gas left. They were out of 
regular, but still had Plus at $3.069 and Premium for 10¢ more. As I 
was topping off, the clerk came on the P.A. asking that purchases be 
limited to $30. Pretty much just like it was in 1973.
