Two weeks after it was instituted due to shortages caused by Superstorm Sandy, New York City's gas rationing system will end at 6 a.m. ET on Saturday, the city revealed Friday. "More than 85 percent of gas stations in the city are now operational and the available supply of gasoline and diesel fuel is only expected to continue to increase," the city said in a news release. Mayor Michael Bloomberg had actually bought the odd-even license plate system after long lines and short tempers at gas stations across the city. Similar rationing ended earlier in New Jersey and on Long Island. The city additionally revealed it had actually coordinated the distribution of 26,500 cost-free Thanksgiving meals to locals impacted by Sandy. Because Sandy, even more than 2. 7 million meals have actually been dispersed.
