‘Panic-buying’ leaving gas stations dry amid Colonial Pipeline shutdown WSOCTV.com News Staff
Many local gas stations are running out of fuel while others are raising prices amid the Colonial Pipeline shutdown. Channel 9 was out at several gas stations early Wednesday and most of them had cars lined up with drivers waiting to fill their tanks. One driver said he had waited for more than four hours before sunrise to fill up.
Some drivers have been waiting for hours overnight to fuel up at this gas station along Ballantyne Commons Parkway. I talked to one driver who told me he ran out of gas & had to push his car to the one working pump here. @wsoctvpic.twitter.com/WA9FpoNPxx Anthony Kustura (@AnthonyWSOC9) May 12, 2021
