Stop freaking out and running to the gas station if you hear there is not going to be any gas or if the price is going to go higher.

Like George Carlin said, think about how dumb the average person is, and realize that half of the people out there are stupider than that. People have no idea of how commodity markets and commodity pricing work, all they know how to do is complain and panic.
My mom insisted on filling up the night before Ike hit because someone on the news said that gas would be at $4.50 or $5 per gallon the next day. I said it was ridiculous, but filled up her car for her because she was almost out of gas anyway. Sure enough, gas was a whole 10 cents higher the next day.
