Gas Stations Move to Appointment Only Service
In western Connecticut and nearby towns drivers faced long lines and jammed streets as gas shortages prompt stations to require appointments. ARCO dealer Warren Wheeler began scheduling 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. slots so three customers are served every five minutes with no waiting.
