Comments on Sky news from New York motorists

[NorthernRaider]

Sky speaking with motorists queuing for hours for fuel who can only buy if their reg numbers are on a list for tht day.

This is not fair they should let me take what fuel I want

I dont understand how this can happen in NYC today

I'm suprised that this can happen

They have no right to ration it should be first come first served

I never thought this could happen in the US

Sez it all really.

I think they may want to get used to it with the weather they seem to be getting.

And all the threats to oil-supply waiting in the wings.

It won't be just them it will be us as well still it shouldn't affect me I don't drive, I don't use oil heating and the cold doesn't really affect me to much except for my bones

yeah.....first come,first served IMO too NR.! last week in New Jersey they come up with an idea from FEMA/gov that "on say Friday only those with local (NJ)licence plates ending in an ODD number cud fill up.....then the next day only those with plate ending in EVEN number cud fill up.....saying it wud instantly half the mega petrol que. think this is crap .....this dumb ass gov wud probs come up with something stupid like if your surname starts with the letter A you can fill up on amonday etc.. or something .....anyway i digress........ if your not first in the line its your own fault......

If you are in the line at all it is your own fault

Sky news is now reporting the fuel shortages could last many long weeks, that will prolly cause a crime wave of fuel thefts.

May the Gods help them if they were to have a "real" disaster.

I can see people being car jacked or shot for a few gallons of petrol if things spiralled, only the other hand the Yellow cab companies fleet is excluded from the rationing which should help.

I think, a good way, to sort this situation out would be to enforce Martial Law. That way we know people will not be car jacking. Outlaw guns (already done) and have military martial of the situation. That'll clear it all up. No, I don't think that's socialist -Obama (in a few weeks) haha
