ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Two weeks after Hurricane Ike disrupted oil production, a gasoline shortage continues in parts of North Carolina.

Asheville city officials have closed offices, the civic center and all parks and recreation centers because of the shortage.

“It’s been a nightmare for everybody,” said one driver who was pumping gas on Thursday.

There have been fights at the pumps as drivers accuse each other of breaking in line, police said.

Police said they have monitored stations that are getting new fuel shipments and making sure the rush to fill up does not get out of hand.

Carol Gifford with AAA said stations are waiting for deliveries, but are unsure how much gasoline they will get. Gifford said it's important for people not to buy gas unless they need it.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Alan Hirsch with Gov. Mike Easley's office said the terminal in Spartanburg, S.C., that serves western North Carolina was being refilled Thursday. Hirsch said the Charlotte terminal was expected to be refilled Friday.
