What share of the refinery capacity is currently effected?

I heard ballpark numbers in the range of 20% of capacity but that was rather hearsay...

I guess we will see quite some price peaks on the petrochemicals spot market as well over the next weeks/months
Yep, half the stations in the city of Charlotte are out. Greensboro is out at about 1/3. The price has increased quite a bit, and the Governor has asked that all non-essential driving be cancelled.

We currently receive 90% of our refined gasoline from the gulf refineries, through a pipeline. Those pipelines are now pumping ~30% of what they were 5 days ago. At current rates, they expect the entire state to be dry by next Wednesday. South Carolina, Georgia, Tenessee, Florida, Alababama, and of course, Mississipi & Lousiana are in much of the same pickle.
