The little gas station down the street from them had a line of cars 40 deep waiting to use the pumps.

Rev you were at the TA, I-40 Exit 37? I live about 10 minutes from there. Anyhoo...
We have been having gasoline shortages here since Ike. As far east as Hickory. Some have been driving into SC to gas up, only to burn about half of it on the way back (depending on type of vehicle). People here have been known to follow tankers to wherever they're going in hopes of scoring gas! Diesel fuel hasn't been as big of a problem through much of this, although when some places run out of diesel it's a day or two before they get more.
I think this is probably somebody's way of trying to ween us off the evil gasoline! Too bad it won't work; this area is still mostly rural and the light rail project is at least a thousand years away!
Oh well, maybe it will do me well to dust off the old bike and ride it the 14 miles one way to work...
