There were lines at stations in the hardest-hit areas. On Long Island, where power was out in most places, 30 cars lined up Wednesday morning at a Citgo station in Rockville Centre, N.Y., which had power in its central business district. There were 50 cars waiting at a nearby Gulf station in the afternoon. By evening, the Citgo and a nearby Mobil were out of gas, but the Gulf station still was pumping. "It's all about power right now," Kloza said. Benchmark crude rose 56 cents to finish at $86.24 per barrel in New York.
