– Gasoline Rationing Comes To New York (ZeroHedge, Nov 8, 2012)
From the mayor who made owning an 18oz+ container of coke a summary offense, comes this:
Effective 6 am 11/9: drivers in NYC whose license plates end in an even number or zero will be able to buy gas only on even-numbered days

Drivers in NYC whose license plates end with a letter will be classified as “odd” and may only buy gas on odd-numbered days

In case anyone gets any ideas, the NYPD will be there to enforce counting skills:
NYPD officers will be deployed at gas stations, but we expect that NYers will respect the rule and work together to ensure compliance

Finally, so solly, but no tickee, no gasee
This is not a step we take lightly. But given gas shortages and the growing frustrations of NYers, we believe it’s the right step.
