About 25 percent of gasoline stations in North Carolina have run out of fuel as of Wednesday morning, as states from New Jersey to Florida suffer from a truck driver shortage combined with the fallout from a pipeline operator’s network being breached.
Some 24.8 percent of the 5,273 fuel stations in North Carolina were out of gas as of 6 a.m. Central Time, according to GasBuddy, a travel and navigation service that tracks prices and availability. That included 71 percent of stations in and around Charlotte.
