GREENSBORO - The commute is a routine Darwin Hairston and other working class folks go through at least five days a week.

“Right now just back and forth to work right, I got a nice little distance to go probably about a 30 miles drive,” Hairston said.

That commute to work or elsewhere could become a little more costly for people in North Carolina.

The Colonial Pipeline Co. found a leak in a major gas pipeline last week, and are working to repair it. The pipeline runs from the Gulf Coast to the East Coast serving many stations throughout the south.

“There will be a wide variety of price increases as supply starts to decline,” said GasBuddy Analyst Patrick DeHaan.

DeHaan says some stations may even run dry over the next couple of days. The price increases are simply supply and demand.

The Sheetz at 1813 S. Main St. in High Point said Friday evening their pumps are closed as a result of the leak. The Sheetz at 1620 New Garden Road in Greensboro said their pumps are also closed due to the leak.
