Northeast: Why do some areas struck by Superstorm Sandy have plenty of gasoline and others still don't?
• It turns out we need electricity to drive. Even if we're driving cars that run on gasoline. And many areas still have no power.
• Without electricity, gasoline can't be pumped from refineries, through pipelines, off tanker ships, out of terminals or from gas stations into Toyotas, Chevys and Fords.
• "The problem will go away when the power is restored, and it won't go away if it's not," said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.
• The gasoline crisis is expected to end within days as electricity comes back on in most areas of the Northeast.

• Both campaigns were predicting wins in Tuesday's election. Obama was closing out the campaign with an apparent edge in some key battleground states, including Ohio. But Romney's campaign was projecting momentum and banking on late-breaking voters to propel him to victory in the exceedingly close race.
• "Words are cheap and a record is real and it's earned with effort," Romney said Saturday, making a final appeal to voters in Colorado.
• The Republican was cutting away briefly Sunday from the nine or so competitive states that have dominated the candidates' travel itineraries this fall. Romney, along with running mate Paul Ryan, had an early evening event planned in Morrisville, Pa., his first rally in the state this fall.
• Romney's visit follows the decision by his campaign and its Republican allies to put millions of dollars in television advertising in Pennsylvania during the race's final weeks. Obama's team followed suit, making a late advertising buy of its own.
