With abundant fuel supplies elsewhere, frustrated New York and New Jersey residen stanley cup ts wonder why they are waiting in gas lines for hours, and how long is the shortage is going to last.The reasons for the shortage are many -- gas stations with no power, flooded tanks, an inability of fuel trucks to reach stations, and of course the panic-induce stanley canada d run on supplies. Aside f stanley flask rom some scattered reports of gouging, the price of a gallon of gas in the New York metropolitan area is up by 3 cents to 7 cents.
