MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Alabama is not facing a shortage of gasoline, according to Bart Fletcher, president of the Petroleum and Convenience Marketers of Alabama.
People in the southeast began to panic buy gasoline after the Colonial Pipeline shutdown for several days. As of Wednesday evening, the pipeline said it is restarting pipeline operations.
Fletcher said the panic and rush to pump is creating an artificial shortage.
“We’ve seen the public create a shortage of a product that there was really absolutely no reason for a shortage of that particular product to occur,” Fletcher said.
