Where do you live, specifically? That might help us. If you're in Franklin, for example, I'm not sure driving to Bellevue for gas would be worth it. I also am wondering if this is specific to Bellevue; a Tennessean article I saw earlier this week mentioned both Franklin and Bellevue as having supply issues.

FWIW, I got the 93 at the shell at the corner of Old Hickory and Highway 70 this morning.

We had no problem getting gas at the Supermall between Cookeville and Algood; I40 exit 288 go north. exit after the exit for 70 go right walmart is there and gas stations are right before it after you turn in for walmart.
Diesel is a different story. Love's at Baxter has not had any for 2 days ?????

They're going crazy out there now. There are traffic jams at some locations due to people waiting to get into a gas station that still has gas. I think everyone and his brother has decided to try to fill up before the weekend.

Yeah, I was going to the Target on White Bridge Road this afternoon and one side of the road was backed up because of the people trying to go to the gas station near WSMV.

Then on my way home I stopped at a convenience store (for ice cream :-) and people were pulling in and out like it was a race track pit stop (the station was out of gas except for diesel).

That's too funny. I mean I went through this in FL with the hurricanes, but I would just try the next town over if there was a shortage in one area.

Oh, this is just one of those things that happens from time to time. There is a slightly shortage due to the after effects of Ike and then the news media got to running story after story about it and now everyone is in semi-panic mode.

We live in that neighborhood. My partner texted me earlier and told me people were having arguments at the pump at that gas station. Talk about mass hysteria.

I've seen four gas stations entirely out of gas and a few out of the higher grades... I live on West End and work in Green Hills, so I'm speaking of those areas. On my way to the grocery store today, there were two gas stations backed up with people trying to fill up prior to the weekend.

I don't want to join the lines but with a quarter of a tank left........
