Texas received 4 million gallons of emergency gasoline in the last two days of February. Of this, two thirds went to the Rio Grande Valley to ease fuel shortages. Gov. Briscoe said allocations also went to Fort Worth Texas City Atascosa Gainesville Lubbock San Marcos Corpus Christi Laredo Longview Dallas and San Antonio. The Valley alone received 725 000 gallons on Wednesday and 20 000 on Thursday. An additional 860 000 gallons were sent to the Midland Odessa area. The fuel reserves come from stockpiles for state officials to use in shortages and hardship cases. Texas tracks 3 percent of monthly fuel for state use.
