How Are You Dealing with the Gas Crisis?

With many stations empty, you're either forced to wait on long lines or avoid getting gas altogether.

If you're not seeing a line with about 100 cars and trucks at your local gas station they are most likely out of gas. 

With a number of stations out, locals in need to fill up their gas tanks or gas cans to bring home and empty out into generators are forced to sit on seemingly endless lines. One scroll down your Facebook time line would undoubtedly show how people are now dealing with the crisis, from sucking it up and waiting on the lines to staying in and avoiding any gas usage to conserve what they have.

How are you dealing with the gas crisis?

Stossel thinks gouging is ok during a disaster. What a f#$ktard! I lean towards conservative but this is just outright greed!

And Romney thinks cutting FEMA and other disaster relief programs, denying global warming and donating a ton of crappy granola bars is the answer...OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!

What does this have to do with how YOU are dealing with the gas crisis? Try to stay focused on the question instead of spouting your political rhetoric. Nobody cares.

Struggling.....My husband and I are conserving gas so he'll be able to get to and from work the next few days. It's my elderly parents I'm worried about. They caught a ride from a neighbor who works out here to visit. They are in Seaford, no electricity, no phone, and down to a 1/4 tank of gas in their car. My dad brought his 5 gallon container with him and we took a quick drive and passed 8 places on Jericho Tpke. No luck. I'm concerned if they have a medical emergency they can't even call 911. I tried to get them to stay with us but they are worried about the house. I hope electricity is restored soon.

YOU CARE ENOUGH TO RESPOND...rhetoric is any communication which has any tendency to persuade another. Your comment is also political rhetoric whether you realize it now or after Obama wins!

You are absolutely right pj. Its comparing apples to oranges. Assisted living is for the elderlyRead More that cant take care of themselves. What noise is created. They are indoors and at the age where driving may not be an option. And the facility faces Route 25A. A main corridor that has been used as a main road for over 50 years. A road that has gas stations,bars, hospitals, nursing homes, retail stores and high schools presently on it. Why not an assisted living.

Exactly. Don't see a problem having it. Many of them don't even go outdoors.

We have an assisted living center right next to our neighborhood. For the most part it is quiet,Read More there is not a lot more traffic, it even looks nice. I will take it over another strip mall, supermarket, bar any day . Like the previous poster wrote, it serves our community.

I don't think the town has a say in it. That is the good old MTA.
