Odd/Even Gas Rationing

Wish we had remembered this sooner. As soon as they instituted it in NY the longs were cut in many places by over an hour. Admittedly, this is sketchy evidence but when you take have the cars out of the lines it becomes pure numbers adventure. I stumbled upon a gas line yesterday afternoon on Long Island and had a 15 minute wait.

Odd/Even rationing was used with the same results in the 1970s and took much of the fear and uncertainty out of finding and deciding whether or not to wait for gas on a line. Glad we will be doing it for a while so people can just calm down and get back to their normal lives or trying to restore their lives to normal.
