Fuel shortages hit Aiken as stations report dwindling supplies
Over the weekend several Aiken gas stations near the S C 118 Bypass and Silver Bluff Road reported steady to low gasoline stocks. Employees described tightening supplies with one location warning of possible two week gaps, while others declined to comment. The spill in Alabama prompted federal action. Colonial Pipeline must test the line and restore flow after a 252 000 to 336 000 gallon leak.
