I recall during the major ice storms this past winter in the Quebec and Eastern Ontario regions of Canada that many of the gas stations were shut down. I believe the cause was not due to gas shortages but due to the power outages. Without power they could not dispense fuel at all! This is not 'chicken little' stuff--we got to see it nightly on the evening news for weeks.

Food for thought.
