View Comments Experts and officials are warning against panic-buying and hoarding gas in Tennessee while the Colonial Pipeline is being restored this week. It's not unimaginable that local gas stations could be out of gas for a few days — but the gas won't be gone forever, AAA Tennessee spokesperson Megan Cooper told News Channel 5. “I’m not worried about it,” said Lars Hall of Murfreesboro. “People tend to manufacture crises. It’s the same thing as the toilet paper hoarding (during COVID).” Areas like Nashville have seen major gas shortages. But on Wednesday there are multiple fuel stations in Murfreesboro that still had gas, although others were out completely.
