    Even number plate- I pulled right in to the pump at a 20 pump Gulf station this morning- no wait. The PIP took $15 worth (at $4.15/gal).
    Love the PIP- never waited on a gas line through this whole fiasco..

    I drove to Port Chester, NY, right at the border of Connecticut last Sunday. Took about 50 minutes from where I live in Queens. Only had to wait 15 mins in line there. Still at half of a tank now, and hearing stories of it getting better out on LI, but my neighborhood in Queens still only has 1 gas station open out of the 4 in the area. The areas I drove at for work this week on LI are the harder hit areas on the south shore, so there's obviously still problems down there. There's only like 30% of the stations open still in NYC.

    I drove by 5 stations this morning on Middle Country Rd on the way to get my snow tires mounted on the new rims- only one station was open out of the five- but it had probably 20 pumps- so you could get gas there without waiting- or maybe only one or two cars in front of you. The odd/even plate rationing system works well- when they finally decide to use it :mad:

    I went to a local station in Queens because I did not want to use gas going there. It worked well. I did not use a drop of gas waiting and moving up the line while listening to music for an hour.

    Yeah, definitely took 'em long enough to enact it...

    Perhaps the only saving grace during this fiasco is the 550 + mile range on a a full gas tank. Fo me that is 10-15 days of normal driving.
