A major fuel supply company has issued an alert about diesel fuel shortages in several Southeastern U.S. states.

States that are expected to experience shortages include Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina, Mansfield Energy said in an alert last week. The company also noted “extremely high prices in the Northeast.”
