A real pain in the gas: As snow halts deliveries, some service stations run out

Double-check the gas gauge before you go to the trouble of digging out your car. Some area gas stations reported yesterday they had run out of fuel or were running low due to delivery disruptions caused by this week’s double-whammy snowstorms.

“I’m out,” said Howard Goldberg, who runs the ELL-BERN gas station at Columbus and Massachusetts avenues in Boston. “The consumers for gasoline have a big problem coming up.”

Other station owners and managers report delivery delays that have caused halts in gas sales at their outlets.
