Oregon Governor Tom McCall announced a mandatory 30 day enforcement of the odd even license plate gas rationing plan starting March 12. The program adds a yellow flag priority, post hours for green flag service, and restricts purchases if tanks are over half full. Civil penalties will apply for violations and a special legislative session in April may be sought to extend the plan.
