Which Nashville-Area Gas Stations Are Out of Fuel?
With the gas shortage hitting Middle Tennessee, here's a running list of stations that have run dry, and (maybe) some that have not.
As the fuel shortage hits the Nashville area, local stations are expected to run out of gas sometime this weekend, despite the governor's emergency effort to prevent an interruption in fuel service.
La Vergne and Smyrna and other areas along the I-24 corridor are the best bets for finding gas. At one point Saturday, a single intersection in La Vergne had three stations, all full with fuel. Generally, Shell stations seem to be getting refueled more often than other distributors.
Late Saturday, Colonial Pipeline announced it will begin building a temporary bypass around the leak in rural Alabama but did not offer a timetable on when that would be finished.
