New York City will start rationing gas tomorrow. Here’s the announcement, from mayor’s Twitter feed:
Mayor: The best way to help customers buy gas faster is to alternate the days that drivers can purchase gas.

Starting at 6AM tmrw, drivers w/ license plates ending in odd numbers only can buy gas on odd-numbered days (i.e. 9th) and even on even days

Mayor: This is not a step we take lightly, but given the shortages we will face over the next two weeks, we believe it is the right step.

Emergency vehicles; buses; para-transit vehicles; commercial vehicles; taxis and licensed liveries are exempt from alternate-day gas order.
