Starting tomorrow (Sat, Nov. 3) at 12 noon, New Jersey drivers will be able to roll up to the pump for some much-needed gas. Gov. Christie announced today that a gas-dispensing system has been put in place that will allow drivers in 12 New Jersey Counties to fuel up.

As of tomorrow, cars with license plates that end in an odd number will be able to gas up on odd-numbered days and cars with license plates that end in an even number can line up at the pumps on even-numbered days. Specialty license plates and vanity plates without numbers are considered odd-numbered plates
“With the challenges we face in the storm’s aftermath, we will be vigilant in enforcing this odd-even system, as we ease the stresses on the system,” Attorney General Jeffery S. Chiesa said in a prepared statement. “Those who choose to disregard this order will be prosecuted to the fullest.”
