No Gasoline Shortage Perceived in Corry Area
Corry gasoline stations have managed to weather shortages reported in Erie and nearby districts. Only one local station faced limits on sales for a few days, after which supplies were replenished. Most stations report caution about curtailment yet continue normal service with no acute shortage expected. Government orders forced one supplier to suspend deliveries until a larger reserve accumulates, while other distributors attribute the issue to tank-truck facilities and driver shortages rather than fuel at the refineries. No stations appear forced to suspend sales at this time.
