On Monday, drivers were still waiting at some gas stations, but the situation seemed to have improved.

Erik Gault, director of operations at the Peninsula Cooperative, said that on Monday morning, the company refueled at 9 of its 12 gas stations in the Victoria area. The other three have been temporarily closed to build natural gas inventories in key locations, so there are some reserves.

"We are now only facing one or two risks of running out, and we are waiting to load," he said in the afternoon.

Galt said that the supply of natural gas has also decreased, and he expects some shortages to continue in the next two weeks.

"I want to say that the temperature of the traveling public is definitely better than before," he said. "The challenge is that we are trying to fill a swimming pool with garden hoses while the drain is still open at the bottom."

The West Coast Mounted Police asked witnesses to witness an incident that took place on Friday at the Shell station on Island Highway and Six Mile Road in View Royal. A motorist allegedly passed by a pedestrian and then the pedestrian kicked the door of the car.

The police said that the gas station was very busy at the time. A row of vehicles passed through the parking lot from the gas station, crossed the sidewalk, and drove along the outer lane of the Island Highway. The police said that the gas station video did not capture this incident.

Anyone who has witnessed an argument or has a dash cam video can contact the RCMP at 250-474-2264.

In Victoria, Andy Harris, who lives across from the Shell station at the intersection of Fort Street and Yates Street, said he saw a steady stream of traffic and it could be noisy.

"Out of my window, honking, screaming, yelling, all these funny things," Harris said. "It's been crazy in recent days."

David Matviw, who was waiting in line at the gas station for refueling on Monday, said he didn't mind that the province offered 30 litres of gasoline per customer last week. "I think it's a good idea," he said, adding that some people became greedy at the pump and grocery store at first.

Aron Scott, who was also at the station, said that when queues began to form around the city last Thursday, he "smoke" on his work truck and drove into a station on Esquimalt Road.

"They ran out just when I was about to fill up."

He was lucky to get home and move his tools into his wife's car, and finally filled his truck with gas on Monday.

Both the Nanaimo-Ladysmith and Cowichan Valley school districts have taken steps to keep staff away from the roads because maintenance work continues and natural gas is still in short supply.

The Cowichan Valley district is redistributing some employees and businesses to bring people closer to home, and it has also postponed most activities that require car or bus travel, while the Nanaimo-Ladysmith district encourages employees who can work from home to do so, and also Some activities have been postponed.

In response to the driver’s Facebook message about the lack of gasoline, a woman in Oak Bay offered to use her electric car to serve other residents of Oak Bay.

"Hello, Oak Bay family," Zoe Kalinfaif wrote on the Oak Bay local page. "I saw posts about finding natural gas. Although I cannot help there, I am lucky to have an electric car.

"If you don't have enough oil, but need to deal with basic errands (food shopping, doctor's application), please PM me and I will see if I can help."

West Coast Mounted Police Alex Berube said that if there is a lineup dispute, it may be short-lived. "People realize that their temper will not make any progress," he said. "I think people have realized that there is gasoline, and we should not rush to get there.

"Hope things start to return to normal."

The Saanich police said that Saanich also had a similar story. Marcus Anastasiadis.

"Most of it is very civilized," he said. "We have had some complaints about dialogue, but nothing is physical."
