What Causes Gasoline Shortages?
Gas shortages can happen due to different factors. Some include supply chain issues. A hold is triggered once a lack of disruption or input occurs at any time during the crude oil handling system and once crude oil delivery is unavailable for any type of whole of the production phase. Floods and hurricanes can halt the flow of otherwise crucial resources, all while the production and distribution networks essentially shut down in a lot of cases. Evaluation is required through storm damage occurrences of strengthening components used with oil rig refineries and other pipelines. No matter how bad the weather gets, emergency panic buying also hits supplies very hard, and the current fuel distribution infrastructure collapses under any intense surge demands.
The Impacts of Fuel Supply Disruptions
That disruption to a fuel supply chain doesn’t only manifest in higher fuel prices; it also tears apart the supply chain. There are a handful of key consequences. Those are:
- Economic slowdowns: the economy can slow down or not produce at all in these manufacturing, transportation, agriculture
- Transportation issues: private transportation runs at a very low frequency on the timetable. It is closed as a whole, which could inconvenience customers and logistics companies too, and public transportation also runs at a very low frequency on the timetable at best.
