There should be no such thing as a gsoline station that is not open because it doesn’t have power. It doesn’t take much power to power the pumps. They can get small gasoline powered genertors like people are getting for their houses, and use them to run the pumps. Admittedly, they will need to get the first gallon from their competitors, but after that they should be self-sufficient.

After the 1954 hurricane (Carol) gasoline stations used old cars to run their pumps. I understand that today they are all electric, but still this is an easily solved problem if they really wanted to solve it.
