That U-Bar is a great idea! Going to make one. Thanks. SNM February 20 Refinery fire sparks gas fears By LAURA BOBAK TORONTO (CP) - Imperial Oil Ltd. (TSX:IMO) has called on the Ontario public not to engage in panic buying after a recent blaze at one of its refineries resulted in gasoline shortages at 75 of the company's 400 gas stations on Tuesday. Imperial's problems have been made worse by an ongoing strike at CN Rail, which has hampered the company's ability to transport gasoline through its distribution system. "If people go crazy into panic buying, it could look very ugly by the end of the week," Robert Theberge, a spokesman for Imperial, said Tuesday. "They will put a lot of stress into an already overstressed situation." He added that the supply problem should be corrected by the middle of next week... Meanwhile, Imperial is working to ensure the shortages will rotate across the province. "There are some service stations that will, from time to time, be without product for a few hours in the next 10 days," Theberge said. cnews.canoe.ca
