Oh damn.  They have closed some stations here in Charlotte as well because there is no gas.

I watched the price increase as I was stuck in the right hand lane on Fairview across from the mall -- the lines were six cars deep to get into that Petro Express. I watched the dude changing the prices from $2.89/2.94/2.99 to $2.99 across the board, though I'm sure he was going to change the other two. The BP and Shell across the street were at $2.99/3.09/3.19.
The next Shell station was on my home down Carmel -- there were 30+ cars in line to get into the station, and their prices were $3.05/3.15/3.25.
So, I thought that since I'm sitting at half a tank, perhaps I should jump in on this since the price might go up another 10 cents in an hour or we could run out. My next station was the Exxon at Carmel and 51...their sign still said $2.89. No traffic! I started to pull in and realized that every pump was closed.
ETA: Just heard on the local news -- what Charlotte has now has to last until Saturday. Because of the pipeline shut-down, we will get no deliveries until then.
Guess our trip to FL this weekend is off.
