As of 12PM Nov 3, gas stations will restrict fueling of vehicles based on the last character in the vehicle's license plate:
Quote:
Residents with license plates ending 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. If your license plate ends with a letter you are considered an odd number.
The first thing you notice is that vehicles are heavily weighted toward odd days, with all letters being "odd."
Then you look at a New Jersey license plate.
Of modern, non-vanity, non-specialty plates, outside a very early 7-character run...
...Yeah.
They pretty much ALL end with letters. Every one of them. Even days are restricted to emergency vehicles (that aren't restricted anyway), a fraction (less than half) of non-standard plates, and some out-of-state drivers.
EDIT: Report may be wrong. The actual order references "last number" and "not displaying a number." So maybe OK.
