Gas stations short or no lines

[jakesdad]

Gas is available south of route 195 on route 130. Just before the Sportsman's Center are 2 Valero stations. One one the North bound side and one on the south bound side, both stations line is only on station property. Additional stations with gas at the junction of Rt. 130 and 206

Easy access from the shore with no waiting.

Good luck to all, looks like I will be heading down for gas for the generator every other day. Trees, lines, transformers, poles in a 3 mile stretch all need to be redone before I get power.

Living further north it has been a nightmare. I'm an even numbered plate and down to 1/4 tank so I'm going to try and hunt some gas down tomorrow. I think I'll try up north near Ramsey on 17. I heard those stations have reasonable waits and a good supply.

Could be worse, I have power. But I need to drive for work a lot of times so this gas "shortage" thing really sucks.

I work in Lodi (brgen co.) And the stations are mostly 200+ cars deep lined down the shoulder. It's total insane bit organized chaos.
The quick check on 46 east seems to be the quickest one as they have 18 or 20 pumps compared to most stations that have only 4 pumps.

Gas stations are open on the Rt 537 exit off I-195 (on both the east & west bound sides) & since they are located in Ocean County you don't have to worry about the odd-even thing.

I got up at 5:30 today and thought I would beat the crowd. That was not the case. Lines were still crowded and to top it off the station advised us they were not going to start pumping til 11AM. It was around 7:30, I'd had enough and went home. Next even day I think I'm gonna head south on Turnpike or Parkway as people have told me that there are little or no wait down there.
What a mess!

gonna let my secret out.....here goes

if you live up north, get to the sloatsburg rest area on the thruway. I have not waited more than 30 minutes, been there 3 times. North or south bound, both short lines and lots of pumps.

ocean county is not part of the schedule. We can fill up whenever we want, come a little south, no problem at all.
