Get all the latest news, live updates & top stories on Gas shortage
CNN - A growing number of gas stations along the East Coast are reportedly now without fuel as nervous drivers are aggressively filling up their tanks following the ransomware attack that shut down the Colonial Pipeline, a critical artery for gasoline. As of 9 pm ET Tuesday, 12.3% of gas stations in North Carolina and 8.6% in Virginia didn't have gasoline, according to outage figures reported by GasBuddy, an app that tracks fuel prices and demand. "Panicked buying" is "running stations in the region dry," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, told CNN Business. Haan also went on to warn that the "irrational behavior" could prolong supply issues "for weeks."
