Some on the Chevy Bolt forum are feeling smug that they can drive during this gas shortage.
The thing is, this is in the news because it's so rare, not because it happens all the time. I've never lost access to petrol. The ice storm took out electricity, which took out most petrol stations because they couldn't pump the fuel, but a couple stations had backup generators and remained opened.
I lose electricity every year for at least a few minutes, and sometimes for a week or 2. It seems way less reliable than access to petrol.
...and I've never lost natural gas.
