Am I the only one that got the news??? Umm for those of you in the US I don't know how true this is, but apparently President Bush just decreed that all gas stations stop business operations starting at 4pm today until tuesday due to gas shortage caused by Katrina(Hurricane)

My secretary at work happens to have a friend that works for the Federal government who called her to let her know because she drives an Expedition. I thought it was crap....but not to be caught with my pants down, I went out anyway because my tank is on empty. Boy, the lines at the gas stations are ridiculous already.

I hope it's not true, but I guess we'll find out. I'm waiting for the news to officially break. You could either through it out as crap, or just go out and get gas now and wait. At the end of the day you're still gonna need it, so you might as well get it now.

hmmm, i doubt if that is true though. How will people make it to work and other places. What about doctors, nurses and co who need to go to work to save lives? They all need gas in their cars now. It will be so stupid of bush to pass that kind of order...but with him, i will not be surprised.

I'm sure it's a complete RUMOR...but I went and got gas anyway. It's not remotely practical that they would do such a thing on a Holiday weekend. It's impossible.

Rumors have circulated that all gas stations in the state will close at certain times of the day. State officials have confirmed that this rumor is entirely untrue.

WBAL-TV 11 News has received calls throughout the afternoon from viewers who have heard the rumor. It's unclear as to where the rumor may have started.

This has prompted Gov. Bob Ehrlich to issue a statement Friday advising Marylanders to ignore the rumor about gas stations closing, as follows:


Governor's Statement

"Marylanders can ignore the rumor that the state is closing down gas stations today, or any other day. The rumor is absolutely and entirely untrue.

"Marylanders should continue to lead their every day lives, while being mindful to conserve energy when appropriate. We are already taking the precautionary steps to help ensure every Marylander has access to adequate supplies of gasoline.

"Again, continue leading your everyday lives, conserve energy when appropriate, and enjoy the holiday weekend."
