Vehicles crowded the Gate station on Mizell Road Wednesday morning as people waited to get gasoline. Some pumped gasoline into containers to load into their cars.
Sam McMahon, of St. Augustine, pumped fuel into a container that he planned to use for his boat. He came to the Gate after searching for gas elsewhere.
"I drove by four of them and they all had bags over the pumps," he said.
Several gas stations along U.S. 1 were open and appeared to have normal amounts of traffic on Wednesday.
Jim Bria, of Orlando, stopped by the Mizell Road Gate station to fuel up on his way to Atlanta and waited about 10 minutes before getting to a pump, he said.
