So People Are Still Putting Gasoline In Bags But Maybe Not Like A Viral Photo Would Suggest
Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg also gave a warning during a White House press briefing, CBS News reported.
“This is a time to be sensible and to be safe,” Buttigieg said. “Of course, we understand the concern in the areas where people are encountering temporary supply disruptions, but hoarding does not make things better. Under no circumstances should gasoline ever be put into anything but a vehicle directly or an approved container, and that of course, remains true no matter what else is going on.”
About 1,800 stations in the country are out of fuel, according to Gas Buddy. But experts say the panic buying is the main factor leading to the shortage.
