“Gas companies are only sending out a certain amount of gas,” said Lisa Dollins, manager of Mayhugh’s. “It’s being rationed out from higher up”
Curie Baldwin, who with her husband owns both Baldwin’s Chevron in Little Washington and the Quicke Mart already ran out of gas at one of her stations over the weekend, and fears that it may happen again.
“We’re just still in a scare. We got some gas, but we need another delivery scon,” said Baldwin.
While fuel distributors are still getting gas out to stations, they aren’t able to ship as much to each station as they could before Hurricane Katrina damaged US refineries in the Gulf Coast area. For example, the Amissville Mayhugh’s shares its gas deliveries with the other Mayhugh’s in the area, and now all the stations are receiving less gas.
“The loads are a lot smaller than they were before,” said Dollins.
