LONGVIEW---The owner says he got a letter from an oil company saying he needs to start ordering gasoline further in advance due to a limited supply and high demand.

In years past, the owner of this Shell station says he would have been able to order gasoline a matter of hours before he needed it.

Now, he's being advised by his supplier to order gasoline at least one full day in advance.

That's because he told us the demand for supply at the Delek terminal where they get their gas is so high.

So for about a day and a half, this Shell station was empty, waiting for a truck to go from houston to the Delek Terminal in Tyler, then waiting in line to fill up the truck to go to the station in Longview.

That made for a slow business day and some inconvenienced customers.

"It's been dead. It's because there's no gas," says Lisa Donaldson, a clerk at the gas station.

"This is my store. This is where I come everyday...This is a big inconvenience, now I've got to go somewhere else," says customer, Chris Ford.
