Just wen't a half mile down the road, 3 gas stations, two completely out, and the one had a gigantic line. My cab driver has been saying it has been a bitch finding gas all day. The one station that had the line had police officers there to prevent fighting.

In spite of having the lowest ratio of consumption to production of crude. Reason? No refineries. All gas is first shipped to the lower 48 as crude, refined, then shipped back....
