And even if gasoline is available, it will most likely be prioritised for logistics first. Trucks moving actual goods, buses, ambulances etc.

Also: People coming in with their Ford F-one-million with an umpteen-gallon fuel capacity and hogging all the fuel.

Living in NYC after Hurricane Sandy, I spent a lot of time biking past mile+ gas lines. Gas stations ran out for a significant period of time and National Guard fuel trucks were eventually deployed, but didn't have enough for all comers.

The trucks and buses probably run on diesel.

(In most countries so do the ambulances, but the US might be an exception here.)
