Thanks Barb, I haven't noticed any difference in Virginia/ DC/ MD but I know in other states there have been lines, stations out of gas.  I hope it doesn't last long.

It sounds like some places have run out of gas and for the ones that still have it, price gouging laws have gone into effect-- I thought those were in effect all the time???

It looks like other restrictions have also been lifted, temporarily, to help ease the situation.
