it's local to Nashville. People heard gas would be short during Ike so they started a run on gas. Stations are running out the day they receive a shipment.

Now it's hitting Atlanta: http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/09/22/atlanta.gas.crunch/index.html
The gas supply has taken a major hit as refineries in the Houston area try to get back up to full capacity in the wake of Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, state and industry officials say. The Colonial Pipeline, which typically delivers 100 million gallons of gasoline, aviation fuel and other petroleum products throughout the southeastern United States, is not running at full capacity.
