There are two kind of gas stations in the Triangle area right now: abandoned, with bags on the handles, and crowded, with lines out well onto the road. It seems to be about 50/50. On my way to lunch the local Shell was in the "swamped" category, and on the way back it was abandoned. I think people are finding out which stations get a load of gas, then go queue up. A colleague waited 2 hours in line during the workday for gas.
