I honestly feel like as citizens, we can do more to help the gas shortage here. We can start by only driving if it's absolutely necessary (i.e to get to work, the doctor, etc.). When at all possible, please, please, please car pool or use Public Transit. It's much less expensive to use public transit than it is to try to drive anyway.
If you must drive, you can use twitter to find out which gas stations have gas before you leave the house. According to this blog, http://www.buzzbrockway.com/?p=365, you can use the tag #atlgas to find out which stations have gas. Just go to http://search.twitter.com and type in #atlgas and then you will see all of the information related to the gas shortage.
The most important thing I can say is please be patient. My husband actually saw a scuffle break out at one of the gas stations on Memorial Drive yesterday which resulted in a man getting arrested. Please, please, please keep your cool. I know driving in Atlanta is tough enough without this added difficulty, but it will pass (eventually). I just wanted to mention this cool use of social networking technology.
