I have not heard of stations being low on gas here as of yet but gas prices around Seattle have been hovering $2.85-$2.87 a gallon and some stations, namelyl the Union 76 stations charge as much as $2.97 a gallon. Premium gas now sells for $3.11 or so a gallon.
Thankfullly Boris' mileage, while nothing super could be worse and thankfully it only requires standard 87 octane.
I guess this will mean a little investigation to see if stations here are running out of gas yet. I do the oil shortages to some extent from 1979 but not the 1973 shortage. From what I've heard, I think we still pay less for gas now than we did in '79, and that's accounting for inflation.
