tom kloza, chief oil analyst and joins me on the phone. tom, tell me what is really going on here? is it a supply shortage? it is is disruption problem? what is causing this? >> this is all about access. access to tanks of fuel whether it be in your gasoline station or pump requires electricity. not that we have a shortage of fuel. we have a little bit of a consumer panic and a lot of stations that don't have generators and have no way of accessing fuel in their tank. melissa: how, given all that, how long do you think it goes on? >> i think it probably goes on maybe through the weekend or whatever. people will calm down. i do think that the logistics folks in supply are getting a grip on this. we're going to start to get some of the supply that we get from offshore. there is plenty of product in the pipeline and ultimately we have, you know, tens of days of supplies in the terminals. right now the terminals for the most part are out of power and all of new york harbor and that's a big area. melissa: that's a problem. how soon do you think they will get power back? that's essential

joining us now by phone, tom kloza, chief oil analyst with the price information service. s hit hard down there. how are things. >> i filled up yesterday, and i waited one car length. the lines are easing from the south to the north as electricity comes back. this won't be anything that persists beyond a few days, trust me. tracy: why from the south to the north? because you guys, typically got hit harder than we did. we still don't have power up by us. is that the whole reason for it? >> well the terminals in new york harbor, beautiful places like bayonne and linden, were hit hardest. so those are the places that people couldn't pick up fuel. then in south jersey you can get gasoline from delaware, to philadelphia, from places in south jersey on the delaware river. those terminals opened sooner. we're getting a little more restoration on the power side in some of the nonbarrier island communities. tracy: yeah. it is slow, let me tell you, painfully slow. i know the refinery in port reading, new jersey, has partial power. that is helpful for us in north jersey and new york

let's bring in tom kloza. >> this is all about the power. once the power comes back, people will get their fuel. connell: it is not as if in a normal situation we would have any supply issues. you definitely have a lot of demand for gasoline. power is a big-time issue. does it have any impact on market dynamics and pricing? >> i think a lot of demand is being destroyed. i think what you will see happen is prices and the rest of the country will certainly drop down for gasoline. you see some numbers below three dollars. in the northeast, it will stay about where we are right now. we will have higher numbers, not as hot as california, but a little bit of the disadvantaged region. connell: $3.51 is your price nationally for a gallon of gasoline. purely, in terms of gas prices, how impactful has this storm. >> i would say it is, again, most of the impact will be on demand. if we give it a couple weeks and we will go through some real logistical problems in the tri-state area of new york, new jersey and connecticut, i think we will be fine. i wan
