Exxon at Third Street and Larry Holmes Drive in Easton was busy Tuesday as drivers came to fill up after Superstorm Sandy.
New Jersey will move to an odd-even gas rationing system in 12 counties at noon on Saturday.
Gov. Chris Christie ordered the odd-even system to help ease fuel shortages and extended lines for gasoline that have occurred since Superstorm Sandy decimated the coast this week.
Residents with license plates end in an even number will be able to buy gas on even-numbered days and residents with plates ending in an odd number can make gas purchases on odd-numbered days. Specialized plates and those not bearing numbers will be considered odd-numbered.
The following counties are effected by the odd-even gas sales: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Monmouth, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.
Christie said Thursday that gas shortages and long lines are happening in the northern part of the state, but not in the southern portion.
