'Following in the footsteps of New Jersey, Mayor Bloomberg on Thursday signed "an emergency order to establish an odd-even license plate system" to cut down on wait times as consumers queue at gas stations to fill up their tanks.

The measure will go into effect at 6 a.m. Friday.

Long Island, also reeling from gas shortages following Hurricane Sandy, will begin a rationing program in Suffolk and Nassau Counties starting at 5 p.m. Friday.

Drivers with license plates ending in an even number can buy only on even-numbered days. Drivers with license plates ending in an odd number can buy on odd-numbered days. Vanity plates are considered odd.'
