New Jersey Governor Chris Christie orders gas rationing in 12 counties beginning Saturday, November 3, 2012.
According to a release from the Governor’s Office, citizens of the following counties are now limited on the days in which they can fill up their gas tanks, as per the state Office of Emergency Management: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Monmouth, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren.

It is being reported that there currently are no restrictions on filling gas containers.
Odd-even gas rationing of 1979

Of course this is to late for the people that have already waited in lines of 2-6 hours for gas, Gov. Christie.
This is America 2012. We should have learned from our previous disasters.
That’s scary! I feel so bad for those people !!!
Hi Amanda, I hope it doesn’t come down to South Jersey. 😦
Human nature is taking over. People won’t or can’t do without. The govt’. isn’t the answer. Before it was your neighbors and the church that helped out.
Flashback
Senior Year, 1979: Waiting in a Gas Line
What a summer to get your driver’s license! OPEC holding back oil shipments in the wake of the Iranian revolution, prices escalating, pumps running dry of fuel, stations closing early, lines stretching for a mile and for hours, and cars using up all their gas while they waited or even before they got there. Jerks cutting into lines then getting shot for it, snobs with lots of money hiring employees to idle in line for them, suburbanites locking their tanks so next-door neighbors wouldn’t siphon out fuel by sucking it through a hose, fistfights breaking out, hand grenades tossed at attendants.

Really is this why Christie Had to give his Kudo’s to Bam Bam one more time?
Exclusive: Christie was Mitt’s first choice for VP
And yet Romney switched from Christie to Ryan in a span of about two weeks, according to a detailed inside account provided to POLITICO.
Romney was so close to picking Christie that some top advisers at the campaign’s Boston headquarters believed the governor had been offered the job. The campaign made tentative plans to announce a pick in late July, just before Romney headed off on his overseas trip, starting with a stop at the London Olympics.
