Gas Shortage Relief Still Weeks Away, Says Expert - News Story - WSB Atlanta:
"ATLANTA -- The gas shortage in metro Atlanta will continue for several more weeks, leaving the majority of gas stations across the area dry and frustrated drivers searching for fuel, a petroleum company executive said Sunday."
Gas shortage wipes out weekend across the South - washingtonpost.com:
"RALEIGH, N.C. -- This is how serious the Southeastern gas shortage has become: There's talk of calling off college football.
Not serious talk, of course. A petroleum executive's suggestion that No. 3 Georgia postpone its Saturday night game against No. 8 Alabama was quickly dismissed Friday by the Georgia governor's office as 'ridiculous.'
But the university's police chief did suggest fans who can't make a round trip to Sanford Stadium on a single tank stay home. "
OpEdNews » Washington Post Attempts To Downplay The Gas Shortage In Atlanta:
"I live approximately 45 miles north of downtown Atlanta, and the situation for the Greater Atlanta Area is miserable. Most of the gas stations have no gas, and when they do receive a shipment, the gas lines begin and don't end until the station runs dry. Naturally, even though President Bush promised that Americans wouldn't get gouged by inflated gas prices, we in Georgia now know that was another of Bush's hollow promises. I checked the daily price of gas, and while Georgia doesn't show up as the highest, we're darn close! I suspect that the figures are based on state-wide tallies, therefore unrepresentative of the Atlanta area in particular - especially in the outlying suburbs."
