Where to Get Gas – Tell Your Neighbors

High demand and lack of electricity is creating lines and hours-long backups.

Lines have stretched for blocks and lasted hours before some residents have been able to get gas. 

If they even found a place to fill up.

Tuesday, more than 30 cars were lined up along Broadway in Westwood waiting to buy gas at Petro Two. By Wednesday, Petro Two was out of gas. In the morning, drivers lined up for three blocks to use the Lukoil on Pascack Road in Washington Township. Later in the day, they had switched to cans only, as had the Getty on Washington Avenue and other local gas stations did the same.
