Rumors began late last week that shortages were a possibility as a result of the recent ice storm. And on Monday KEEL received a number of reports that some stations were out of regular and were selling only the more expensive 93 octane.
But Moncla dispels the rumors and explains that the seemingly limited supply was only for a day.

The problem.is temporary. You have stations that weren t ordering very much gas. You have refineries that were shut down, pipelines that were shut down due to the freeze.
