"There is plenty of fuel in North Myrtle Beach" starts a press release on another reason why you should visit North Myrtle Beach.

Ah, yes, reward your family with the well-oiled destination of North Myrtle Beach.

Go get more chuckles and read the full press release.

Seriously though, a friend of mine made the trek to Atlanta this weekend and traveled with a 5-gallon can in her trunk full of gas, just in case there isn't any when she gets there. Crazy.

That shortage is reported to be fading, but is expected to take a while to dissipate.
