ATLANTA -- The search isn't for the cheapest gas anymore. Drivers are just hoping to find a station with gas.

Arnold Jaipersaud got a memo from his gasoline supplier. He doesn't know when his next shipment will come. His chevron is running out.

Arnold's wife Ann keeps faxing the orders. To keep customers coming, the store now has a $20 gas maximum. It's making some customers very angry.

“We get cursed out. Somebody punched the glass this morning. Luckily it was bulletproof,” said Jaipersaud.

Stations all over Atlanta are only getting a fraction of their orders. Instead of 7,000 gallons, they are only getting 3,000.

As drivers are searching, they are finding more and more stations out.

People just want to be able to get to work and to get home. Ann's Chevron in Lawrenceville hopes people will understand.

"Almost every station that I went to had bags on the pumps," said driver Darin Jennings. "I prayed that I make it here to some gas station and I barely made it."

"What's aggravating is they'll be out of gas, but they (the stations) don't take their numbers off or you'll pull in and you can only get about $5 worth of gas and they're out," said driver Christi Brewer.

Oil company officials continue to blame the shortage on Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, as well as people rushing to the pumps.

"So you've got this one-two sucker punch on top of low inventory and this ridiculous panic hoarding gas run of last weekend, which was insane and for no reason," said Tex Pitfield, president of Atlanta-based Saraguay Petroleum, which delivers fuel to stations.

"We're not out of fuel. There is enough fuel in the system to keep it going. There's not enough fuel for people to start topping off their tanks, hoarding fuel, filling up every day and unnecessary road trips," Pitfield said.

Pitfield predicted Sunday that inventory will be tight for several more weeks. He said drivers need to treat gas like water and start conserving.

"If people would just relax and buy fuel when they need it and don't take the unnecessary road trips, we'd be so much better off," Pitfield said.

Officials are also encouraging drivers to carpool, work from home, or use MARTA.
