They are only a week and a half late.

Begins tomorrow.

Nassau and Suffolk counties are set to announce Thursday they are imposing "odd-even" gasoline rationing to ease congestion and frustration at filling stations, a Nassau County official said.

About time. I emailed my local reps this morning regarding their inaction on the issue.

I have no clue on why it took this long. I guess all the gov't/reps./pols can get gas easily with no wait? They had to see the lines with 200+ cars.

Most goverment agencies wait until a situation reaches critical mass rather than taking action to defuse a situation....

Yeah, he obviously had no idea what he was talking about. There are a lot of stations with power but no gas.

odd and even is just something to make you feel good but it does nothing.
if 6 million people need gas we need enough to cover it ,period.

we all dont go on the same day anyway so all your doing is rearrainging the mix from x amount of mixed plades to the same number of sorted plates.

you would have to have very long lines one day and very short lines the next day for it to do a thing and thats not the case.

its a freakin joke.
