Governor's office: Distributors won't turn gas loose - News ~ Local News - Charlotte Observer

Governor's office: Distributors won't turn gas loose - News ~ Local News - Charlotte Observer: "Plenty of gasoline is available at the Charlotte fuel terminal, but oil companies won't allow some of it to be distributed to gas stations, a top aide to N.C. Gov. Mike Easley said Monday afternoon.

Alan Hirsch, Easley's policy director, said some of the oil companies will not let distributors purchase a full allotment, fearing they will run out of fuel before the next shipment comes in.

Meanwhile, the gasoline shortage continued unabated in the Charlotte metro region."
