Some gas stations on military bases in the South are setting limits on gas purchases, in the wake of the Colonial Pipeline shutdown which has prompted long lines at the pump in a number of states that depend on the pipeline.
Army and Air Force Exchange Service officials are “closely monitoring the situation, instituting limits as needed to mitigate potential outages” and getting fuel from all available suppliers, according to a statement from AAFES.
