Tensions boil over at gas stations as pumps run dry in wake of Sandy | Fox News

Tensions boil over at gas stations as pumps run dry in wake of Sandy | Fox News: "more than half of all gasoline service stations in the New York City area and New Jersey have been shut down because they are either out of fuel or don’t have power to operate pumps."

Why don't they get generators? Surely many people with generators would be willing to trade some generator time for gasoline!

"New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie moved to increase supplies of gasoline and diesel by waiving requirements that make it harder for stations to buy from out-of-state suppliers."

Why should there be requirements like that even in normal times?

"Rivaling the demand for gas was the scarcity of D batteries, the kind most flashlights use."

Are LED flashlights illegal there? Where they left behind when many switched?
