Update: motor vehicle fuels flowing at some major truck stops

GasBuddy Blog -- While Sandy may be moving out of the region, the lost power, flooding, and other issues have not. As transportation comes back online and as employers open their doors, motorists will be looking for gasoline and other fuels.
