Some gas stations in Toronto area run out of fuel: weekend storm partly to blame

Toronto – Some “out of gas” signs have been appearing at service stations across the city, while others have stopped selling regular gas entirely.

At least two stations in the Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue area were out of gas and have been awaiting shipments, Rogers’ Citytv reported, Wednesday morning.


Liberal MP Dan McTeague told 680News the shortage is partly because of the snowfall and new ethanol rules that have slowed production, but added that it is temporary.

“What is troubling me is that there were signs of shortages well before last week; particularly Esso stations were running out. We haven’t heard from Esso why that is the case,” he said.
