Norton's Express Mart on West Main Street in Centre had only the premium blend Friday morning. According to manager Susan Pace, the station ran out of the other two blends shortly after 9 o'clock.
Pace said the fact that they can only get premium blend at 20 cents more per gallon than regular wasn't stopping customers from pumping gas. ``Everybody realizes they'd better get what they can,'' Pace said. ``Everybody needs to worry about being able to get it. I'm worried about emergency personnel being able to get gasoline. Will we have enough gas?''
Norton's still was listing regular at $2.89 a gallon with premium at $3.09.
