Three independent oil companies Tar Heel Oil Co of Statesville A-Fil-Er-Up of Greensboro and Eaton Oil Co of Charlotte warn they may close their 230 stations if Crown Central Petroleum cuts gasoline. They petitioned U S District Judge James McMillan to force continued delivery while a lawsuit over alleged supply reductions proceeds. The judge postponed decision pending more evidence and suggested Crown attempt rationing to keep outlets open.
