Gasoline stations and terminals from Florida to New Jersey are running dry as shortages worsen five days into the shutdown of the biggest U.S. fuel pipeline.
As the Colonial Pipeline system -- hit by a cyberattack and forced to shut on May 7 -- struggles to recover, fuel terminals are being drained. In parts of the U.S. South, three in every four gas stations have run dry, while in Washington, D.C., cars are lined up for blocks as they wait to fill up. U.S. pump prices have topped $3 a gallon for the first time in six years.
