NYC, Nassau & Suffolk to start Odd/Even Gas Rationing
BREAKING: Nassau & Suffolk are set to announce they are imposing “odd-even” gas rationing, a Nassau County official said.
More info:
Nassau and Suffolk counties announced Thursday that they are imposing "odd-even" gasoline rationing to ease congestion and frustration at filling stations.
The counties will join with New York City to impose the new system beginning at 5 a.m. Friday, in the wake of a shortage that began after superstorm Sandy hit the region.
Under the system, drivers with license plates ending in an even number will be able to purchase fuel only on even-numbered days and drivers with license plate numbers that end in an odd number will be able to purchase fuel only on odd-numbered days. License plates such as vanity plates that do not display numbers will be considered odd-numbered plates.
Out of state vehicles will be subject to the same requirements when purchasing fuel in Suffolk County.
The policy does not apply to commercial vehicles, taxi or limousine fleets or emergency fleets, nor does it apply to hand held gas canisters.
"This temporary fuel policy will ease the challenges residents of the bi-county region are experiencing in the aftermath of the storm," said County Executive Steven Bellone. "Our citizens travel between Nassau and Suffolk without regard to county borders and it only makes sense that we adopt a regional solution. I thank my counterpart Nassau County Executive Mangano for working with me to adopt this policy."
New York had resisted imposing rationing. Neighboring New Jersey has used it successfully to reduce motorists' frustration.
Under the New Jersey system, vehicles with license plates ending in odd numbers can buy gas on odd-numbered days; even-numbered plates can buy on even-numbered days.
At a news conference Thursday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo indicated such decisions were up to the counties. Meanwhile, frustrated Long Islanders are speaking up about wanting Cuomo and government officials to do more on the gasoline shortage.

Nassau & Suffolk to start Odd/Even Gas Rationing
What's going to stop someone from going on the wrong day and saying it's an emergency? In what way is this going to be enforced? I fear it will cause more harm than good.

It would be based on the last number in your plate. If you only have letters, you go on odd number days (at least in NJ you do.)

Re: Nassau & Suffolk to start Odd/Even Gas Rationing
I havn't filled up since the 10/30, I still have a quarter tank, DH has half a tank and filled up on 10/30 as well.
We are not panic buying filling our cars constantly, I defin think that is contributing to the lines

what about Queens county? Brooklyn?
They said the counties will join with NYC
So I imagine it applies to all the boroughs.

I haven't filled up since the 26th but stayed home from work many of those days. I still have a 3/4 of a tank however I really will need gas after Saturday since I have some major driving so i am pretty happy about the news.

I don't think they will impose any restrictions on walk ups

Re: Nassau & Suffolk to start Odd/Even Gas Rationing
I don't even know my plate number lol. In my defense, it's a pretty new plate.
I actually filled up today because I got below 1/4 tank (due to unexpected power outage yesterday adding unforeseen trips to/from home).

I guess it depends on the station. Mine never alllowed walk ups, people with containers had to wait on the same line.
