Gas stations idle as Memorial Day weekend tightens supply
Area operators say many Southern Illinois stations will close over the Memorial Day weekend due to dwindling gasoline allocations. Wareco Oil reports 62.1 percent of May supply with hopes for 75 percent in June, prompting shorter hours. Other brands report 70 or 80 percent allocations and varying openings, with some stations remaining 24 hours while capping daily gas sales. Panic buying is limited. most customers top off tanks as officials warn the shortage may worsen.

Gas dealers struggle with 80 percent allocations
Gas stations report profits down but not closing as 80 percent allocation keeps them operating. Owners like Joe Crain of Marion and Dale Stearns of Carbondale cite cutbacks in hours, layoffs, and fixed costs. Some expect worse if allocations drop to 50 percent. margins remain thin since 1972 price controls. Dealers note higher pump prices don’t always boost profits, and competition from cut-rate stations pressures them.
