Gasoline and diesel
spoil fairly quickly and you can't really store significant amounts
unless you're actively replacing your supplies. Also, during a
blackout gas station pumps may not work and there will most likely be
a lot of people lining up for gas, making it a bit of a hassle.
Meanwhile natural gas
lines will still work so long as the lines or compression stations
have not been physically damaged. Compression stations also have
backup generators that will keep the pipeline pressure up for several
days.
Additionally natural
gas generators are uncommon in most households, which means it's
unlikely that the natural gas network will be overexhausted or run
out even during a prolonged power outage.
