There have been intermittent petrol shortages across the the Southeast US in the wake of Hurricane Ike, which pounded the refinery-rich Texas coast a few weeks ago. Apparently things got pretty bad in Nashville for a while, which inspired someone with a real knack for subtitle writing to re-cut this scene from Downfall. A lot of the humour relies on local knowledge, but regardless of how much (or little) you know about Nashville's suburbs, indie bands or sports teams, I think you'll agree it's a winner.

My mom was in Alabama and couldn't leave for a few days to go back to NC b/c of the gas shortage in ATL, Charlotte, NC, and other places.
