As a result, the nation's 117 million vehicles have become rolling reservoirs of gasoline, making the shortage worse. "I know I need only a quarter of a tank to fill up," said a housewife in Westchester County, N.Y., as she awaited her turn at the pump. "I feel guilty about it, but I can't help myself."
