Many Terre Haute gas stations stay closed after ruling
Gasoline dealers in the Terre Haute area largely kept pumps shut despite a ruling blocking Phase IV price controls. Only about one in 15 stations reopened, with others running low on supply or closing before noon. Larger stations retained reserves and offered normal hours, while some areas saw easing lines from last Thursday. The court decision pauses Phase IV until next Friday, affecting 165,000 dealers but not independents. The government appeals as Justice Department argues potential irreparable injury. In Indianapolis, many dealers hoped to open but faced dry pumps and staffing issues.
