Actually, guys, I heard about this on TV last night. Channel 6 news in Philadelphia reported that there were certain service stations in the Philly suburbs that were in fact short of, or out of gas. In some cases, certain stations had only high octane premium, while in other cases, there was no gas at all. The problem appeared to be one of refinery production of the gas, where the refineries were producing gas at a lower production level than usual, due to attempting to convert to a cleaner method of production. I dont know if this is a long or short term problem, but at least in the Philly suburbs, there was a report about this situation.
