UPDATE ON PILOT OPERATIONS

All Pilot stores in the Knoxville area are operating normally with adequate supplies of all grades of fuel, according to Alan Wright, Pilot’s vice president of supply and distribution.

Wright said that demand has decreased significantly from yesterday’s levels when it was about double the normal volume for a Friday.

In the areas affected by Hurricane Ike, five Pilot Travel Centers are closed: two in Houston, TX, as well as locations in Baytown and Orange, TX, and LaPlace, LA. Pilot is committed to getting these locations reopened as soon as possible.

All locations have ample inventory of both gas and diesel and will be ready to serve customers as soon as they re-open. Pilot has a team of transport drivers and trucks ready to move into the area to continue fuel deliveries to the travel centers when evacuation orders are lifted.

All other locations in Texas and Louisiana are open and operating.
