Odd Even Ration Plan Confuses Pennsylvania Motorists
The odd-even gasoline rationing plan in Pennsylvania sparks questions and confusion at the pump. Rules hinge on final digits or final letters in licenses. mixed plates use last digit or letter to determine eligibility. Zeros and even endings permit gas on even days, odd endings on odd days, with letters A–M even and N–Z odd if no numbers. July’s 31 days allow gas for all regardless of number. Disabled veterans and handicapped individuals may buy gas online daily.
