It's like a bad dream:  You're driving for miles, watching the needle hover precariously over "E," and passing dozens of gas stations that have their prices blocked out because they have no gas left.

I lived it last night.  I was thinking of how you don't really notice gas stations until you need one - and how you notice every gas station when you need one and they're all empty.  A single store in my neighborhood had gas to sell; it also had a long line and a $25 limit on what you could buy.  But it got me into work today.

A lot of drivers in the Southeast are sharing the same stories.  And you can see from this article and on Tuesday's show how the shortage is affecting people.
