Hayes proposes county gas distribution plan with two gallons limit
Hayes outlines a county plan granting at most two gallons at regular price plus a $10 emergency service charge to curb drivers seeking gas at multiple stations. The plan differs from Oregon’s odd even scheme, includes posted prices and “sold out” or “gas available” signs, and features a monthly allocation formula to ensure steady supply, with Sundays as potential emergency station days. The energy commission will study the proposal in an emergency session, aiming for recommendations by Thursday.
