Following the cybersecurity attack on the Colonial Pipeline, finding gasoline in the Upstate is a hit-or-miss errand.
The AP reports Colonial restarted pipeline operations on Wednesday, but reaching a normal delivery schedule will take a few days.
One Greenville driver noted that smaller gas stations seem to be taking the hit harder than gas station chains.
"There are plenty of smaller gas stations around town that are just completely closed but there's no gas," he said. "But we originally tried to QT yesterday and the lines were so long we just couldn't wait."
Others said they have had absolutely no issues finding gas.
"I didn't go looking anywhere, like (during) the gas shortage of '74," one woman noted. "I happened to be coming to Costco (already)."
While several stations are completely out of gas, the gas stations which are up and running don't always have severe lines, instead looking like a normal day of operation.
Earlier this week through social media, Governor Henry McMaster urged drivers not to panic or hoard resources. He responded similarly when it was announced the pipeline was functional once again.
To help monitor the situation, a price gouging statue was put in effect earlier this week.
Those who believe they have witnessed price gouging can email any examples or documentation to pricegouging@scag.gov.
