his place in line. that gas attendant having to spray him with pepper spray just to break up the fight. i shot that with my iphone today. you know, as long as we see these refineries shut down, we ll see these gas supply disruptions. but exacerbating the problem, anderson, is a lot of drivers are feeling panicked. they are feeling the need to fill up their tanks and the canisters. that s really just making the problem worse. anderson? you know, we also heard reports, we talked about the rising prices, average of 17 cents. even price gouging in some places. reporter: yeah, and prices legitimately are rising because of this supply crunch. but yes, the texas attorney general has said that its office has received hundreds of complaints and phone calls about gas stations around dallas even, gas stations gouging consumers,
now it is running low on fuel. and on, on the second day, yesterday of this perceived gas shortage, i did see frustrated drivers getting more frustrated. one driver actually running out of gas while waiting in line. he had to push his red camaro to the pump. he ran out of gas by waiting. and one driver get into a fight with a gas attendant over his placement in line. they came to blows. the gas attendant had to spray the driver with mace. to break up that fight but this is the kind of situation, it s tense, when people feel like there s a supply shortage. ironically, it s not necessarily a raw supply shortage. it s more of a production and a distribution issue. because the gasoline that s actually at refineries can t get out because the refineries are closed. victor and christi? that really wasn t worth fighting over, your space in line at the gas station. it depends on how low your
