No gas anywhere it seems....From tWO list.
Selden, be aware that there is no gas in the Asheville area! Fuel up in South Carolina/Tenn.

I’m hopeful that things will improve by the weekend. Yesterday and this mornign, all stations within a 3-mile radius of where I live in Atlanta were out of gas. This morning, I saw a queue of about 10 USPS mail trucks at the nearest gas station, which didn’t have any prices posted, but apparently had gas for the post office across the street (which strikes me as a good use of a scarce resource).

Coming home, all but one station was out of gas, and the one that was open was limiting purchases to $40; I prepaid $10, and got 49 cents change from filling up a motorcycle.

I Just got back from a shopping run to Alpharetta, no gas stations have gas between there and Dahlonega. Saw several people out of gas on 400.
The EPA did relax requirements on fuel blends today to make more fuel available. The only thing is there is only a finite number of tankers to fill stations. When one station gets fuel and close by stations are still out, the panicked public will empty it in a heartbeat. This may take a while to get back to normal.
Saw Fred today, he said no problem in Hayesville NC or Hiawassee with fuel availability.
I think we'll pass on mowing tomorrow, I'll need the mower gas for the truck!

Blue Ridge is dry at this time but Blairsville is fine. I think from Blairsville on north will be fine. Pretty sure we are using a different blend of fuel then points south which is still using the summer blend. Sonny is trying to get the EPA to let the whole state to switch over to the winter blend ,if it happens we should have gas by the weekend.
