The states suffering from the most acute gasoline shortages should start to feel relief this weekend after the nation’s largest fuel pipeline resumed operations.

Fuel will begin flowing immediately but will require an armada of tanker trucks to ferry product from endpoint gasoline terminals to retail stations emptied by panicked drivers during the Colonial pipeline’s shutdown. Earlier this week, the Biden administration waived some trucker restrictions to help with the replenishment.
