  TRENTON, N.J. –  If you're planning to line up for gas Saturday, better check your license plate first.
New Jersey is moving to an odd-even gas rationing system in 12 counties starting at noon.
Gov. Chris Christie ordered the odd-even system late Friday.
He says it will help ease fuel shortages and extended lines for gasoline that have occurred since a superstorm decimated the coast this week.
 
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.
The order is in effect for the counties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Monmouth, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.

No problem. You will need
1) A screw driver
2) Two license plates, one odd and one even
3) Five minutes of preparation

Procedure is:
a) Any day you want to buy gas for a particular vehicle, just put the appropriate license plate on.
b) Buy fuel
c) If you can enlist one of your kids to do the swapping, so much the better


This is a tried and true method, and was practiced widely during the gas shortages of the 1970s.
