Gas is pretty much refined in real time. It takes something like 3 days (if I recall correctly) from the time crude hits the refinery until it's being pumped into your car. Right now the pumps that deliver gasoline via pipeline to the southern states are without electricty. Thus no gasoline is moving, thus the station on the corner is not getting its daily deliveries. Thus, no gas.
It's not like there are big warehouses full of gasoline anywhere. Not considering the millions of barrels we consume every single day.
