RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Two weeks after Hurricane Ike disrupted oil production, a gasoline shortage continues in parts of North Carolina.
Asheville city officials have closed offices, the civic center and all parks and recreation centers because of the shortage.
Some Charlotte stations are rationing gas. There have been fights as drivers accuse each other of breaking in line.
Carol Gifford with AAA says stations are waiting for deliveries, but are unsure how much gasoline they will get. Gifford says it's important for people not to buy gas unless they need it.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Alan Hirsch with Gov. Mike Easley's office said the terminal in Spartanburg, S.C., that serves western North Carolina was being refilled Thursday. Hirsch said the Charlotte terminal was expected to be refilled Friday.
