Odd  Even Days at the Gas Pump
Ben Vitale

Fuel shortage because of Gas hoarding; I don't think so! Has the news media considered the fact that every generator requires about 5 Gallons of Gas per day? 250 Gas stations are still closed because they do not have power to operate their pumps! I have seen it; a small household generator can operate Gas Pumps. Yep! A $350. Generator, that can be purchased at Home Depot! So whats the big deal! I would guess the big deal is Red Tape, and required inspections by some branch of the government. The system must be "fixed."

The Gas on alternate day rule does not consider the person who has to use his vehicle for work. Two of my friends stood on lines because they absolutely needed gas to get to work. Do we need to add unemployment to the equation? Only God can turn one tank of Gas into Two tanks of Gas.

This is an emergency; get out of town tanker truck drivers to our area, and have them deliver fuel 24/7, nonstop. No Coffee breaks! No excuses! If I performed this poorly in my job, I would be fired in an instant. Why do we give a free pass to the fuel industry? We don't need rationing, we need performance. The last time I went to a Gas station there was a $50. limit; so it takes Four days to get a full tank of Gas. What genius thought up this stupid rule? Only God can turn one tank of Gas into Two tanks of gas.
