KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Pilot Travel Centers CEO Jimmy Haslam says operations are normal at Pilot stores in the Knoxville area despite reported gas shortages.

In a release, Haslam said, "All Pilot travel centers and convenience stores in the Knoxville area are operating normally and have fuel supplies for customers."

He said, "Pilot does not comment on its pricing philosophy but we are continuing to do all we can to keep an adequate supply of fuel available."

AAA spokesman Don Lindsay encourages consumers not to panic or make a run on gas.

Some gas stations in Knoxville have put a limit on the amount of gas customers can buy. Volunteer TV News is getting reports that some gas stations are limiting fuel purchases to $10, and some are setting a 10 gallon limit.

Lines are being reported at many gas stations in and around Knoxville.

The next major gasoline shipment is expected in Knoxville Tuesday.

Pilot released the following statement Friday afternoon:

Pilot is doing everything it can to keep fuel available and flowing to our customers in the short term, and we are constantly monitoring the supply situation. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this situation.
