There are two ways to solve a gas shortage one is making the price unbearabley high (america) the other is to ration it (70s america) but if you try both watch out.
Muslims are responding the only way they know how, WITH FIRE! Angry Iranians torched pump stations and hurled abuse at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government (who was already losing points in the polls as fast as Bush) after the world's fourth-largest oil exporter said it was imposing fuel rationing on Wednesday.
One Iranian news agency, ISNA, quoted an official as saying 19 gasoline stations were set ablaze overnight in Tehran after the government's announcement late on Tuesday that rationing would start from midnight.
Police detained 80 people in the capital over the unrest, the Fars News Agency quoted a judge as saying.
"We are swimming in oil and all they do is just put pressure on people," said taxi driver Hasan Mohammadi, 44. "I'm using my last drop of gasoline."
Despite its huge energy reserves, Iran lacks refining capacity and must import about 40 percent of its gasoline, a sensitive issue when world powers have threatened new U.N. sanctions in a row with Tehran over its nuclear program.

If your white it's "looking for supplies" if your black it's "looting" if your persian it's either protest or terrorism. (depending on who you ask)
I hereby throw open the floor to wild speculation and Geggy style conspiraceys.
