Fuel-supply squeeze leaves some Omaha-area stations short

Fuel-supply squeeze leaves some Omaha-area stations short

Drivers report fuel supply issues across Omaha, Bellevue, Papillion and La Vista. Industry sources say the seasonal squeeze is worse than usual but have not established its cause; GasBuddy describes a supplier issue rather than a widespread breakdown, and Gov. Jim Pillen issued a temporary hours-of-service waiver. The duration and extent of shortages remain unclear.
