RE: Atlanta may run out of gas.
Topic: Current Events 2:04 pm EDT, Aug 31, 2005

The metro Atlanta region generally has about a 10-day supply of gasoline in inventory, said BP spokesman Michael Kumpf. The pipelines have been down for two days.
Alpharetta, Ga.-based Colonial Pipeline Co., cut off from its suppliers on the Gulf Coast, is now pumping gas from huge storage tanks, many in Powder Springs, Ga. Whether electric power can be restored to the pipeline pumps before supplies run out is "the great uncertainty ... that hangs over all of us," said Daniel Moenter, a spokesman for Marathon Ashland Petroleum, a major supplier of metro Atlanta's fuel.

I'm getting ready to drive to Atlanta from St. Louis tomorrow, since Dragon*Con is this weekend. I'll make sure to fill up my tank again, before I get into the city! If any locals have advice about the best place (last place?) to refill along the way in northern Georgia, please let me know.
