Default Are you coping with fuel shortage?

So I'm down to half a tank. Kinda scared with this pending storm on Wednesday that the fuel supply won't get any better. I've been driving as efficiently as possible... drafting behind cars and inflated my tires properly. I don't know what else I can do. I'm guessing I have another weeks worth of driving if I keep this up, no telling with this cold weather.

Worse comes to worse, I have a can of regular at home...

Well it sucks I filled up on Sunday a day before the storm and today i had to go put gas. I am from Manhattan and i had to go all the way to fort lee, NJ off route 46 in the sunoco to put 93 octane gas. In the 5 borough they only have the cheapest gas and on top of that a easy 3 hour wait. This sucks!

Thinking of going to Jersey in the worse case scenario.

But do the odd/even rules apply to NYS plates?

Odd or even plates dont apply in ny. Its pretty much first come first serve. Got a full tank last night. Got lucky to skip the line when the cop wasnt looking. Or i would of waited 5 hours on line.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm not making light the situation one bit; I just like my state's fuel prices is all.

For the right price i'll bring the truck up with tons of gas in some containers for you. Then you wont have to wait in line...

www.gasbuddy.com to track which stations have gas and wait lines. Everything seems to be getting better slowly...
