Nassau County Gas Shortage: Where Can You Refuel?

LF November 4, 2012 at 01:50 pm

No one should be cutting ahead, regardless of their employment. People have been waiting on line for gas, in some cases overnight, so for some politician to think they can bypass the line due to their so called status is horrific. People need to be patient and respectful of one another now more than ever. Be courteous and wait your turn like everyone else, get your gas and get off the line as quickly as possible.

After reading these uneducated comments, my stomach is in knots. These firefighters you see filling up their trucks need the gas more than anyone else, because if they don't have fuel they cannot rescue, and assist the people who have been seriously affected by Sandy. There are stations set up where these firefighters are handing out food and basic necessities to people who haven't eaten in days and have lost a lot more than their electricity. Instead of making uneducated,arrogant comments attacking the very people who are helping those in need get off your ass and volunteer!! This is a time for people to think beyond themselves and give what you can to families in need. Go thru your closets and cabinets, everything and anything will be appreciated by these families, however, the constant complaining will help no one.

The Valero and Getty gas station in deer park has gas, they are both on bayshore rd off 231

There's a few gas stations open on Hempstead ave in franklin square but there are long lines. Anyone know of any other stations open?

TW November 4, 2012 at 03:38 pm

I'm with ya, Meg! I'm supposed to start my new job tomorrow, but that's not happening because where I am in Malverne, there's still no power and there's no gas. I have to tell HR to draft a new hire letter with a November 12th start date. Hopefully by then, power will be restored to my house and all the gas stations will be functioning with no lines.

yes in Freeport on S. Baview the gulf station. The line starts nearby the walgreens on merrick rd. It is a very long line but it moves fairly quickly. I got my gas in just under 3 hours. They ran out for tonight but will re-open at 5 or 6am and they get their gas delivery around 11pm daily.

TS November 5, 2012 at 01:33 am

They are also taking credit there as well as cash (S. Bayview and merrick rd)

TS November 5, 2012 at 01:33 am

you can try calling 822 LIRR

c bass November 5, 2012 at 05:20 pm

karen cuba November 5, 2012 at 11:56 pm

Jo B November 6, 2012 at 12:19 am

my husband and son own businesses that are mobile.. both trucks are almost out of gas - for us it means loosing our business.. anyone know where in western nassau there is a station ?? Thanks much

Marko0916 November 6, 2012 at 12:35 am

Any Gas station charging over $4.30 a gallon since the storm is robbing the very people they serve every day. We dont forget...
Sunoco on the corner of Broadway and Jerusalem Avenue in North massapequa was charging $4.63 on Sunday for reg. This guy made a huge mistake. Everybody else at the time was charging below $4.00. Not in my neighborhood... he will eventually be booted out of here

Satinee November 6, 2012 at 01:59 am

Yes and I filled up Friday, but when you have to go to work, come home and take care of a child and then go to school, not mentioning the grocer, laundry, etc. you run out. And I could not find a gas line that was convenient time-wise. But I am glad you feel you did something special.

The state railway, Deutsche Bahn, operates http://www.outletcoachstoday.com what it calls - using the English that http://www.coachoutletod.com infuriates language purists - a Call a Bike scheme. http://www.coachs-outletcar.com There is a bank of red bikes outside the station. On the bike, http://www.coachoutletdp.com there's a telephone number which you call, and http://www.coachoutletwo.com the voice at the other end gives you a code to http://www.coachfactoryoutletsp.com unlock the bike.When you've finished, you lock it http://www.coachfactoryoutletli.net to something fixed and call the number with a code and somebody picks it up. http://www.coachfactoryoutletce.org You will be charged eight cents a minute.But most of us have our own bikes. We http://www.coachoutletonlinelc.net do not wear helmets. It is foolish, but we don't. I always mean to - but I http://www.coachoutletonlinesc.com don't. I realise that the brain is man's second favourite organ - but I still http://www.coachoutletonlinelsa.com leave my helmet behind.There is an argument now that if cities insist on http://www.louisvuittonoutletct.com helmets for bike-hire schemes, then people simply don't ride bikes. And if http://www.louisvuittonoutletti.org people don't ride bikes, then they're less fit and that means that more of them http://www.coachoutletrf.com die of heart-attacks.On this argument, insisting on helmets raises the overall death.

SA November 6, 2012 at 12:57 pm

I'm hoping TW's comment is parody. If not, THIS employer would tell him/her that the job is no longer available. True adversity=creative solutions. WALK to a train station bundled in your pajamas and slippers and get to your first day of work. Any good employer would PROMOTE you upon your arrival. Or is working NOT REALLY the objective??

SA November 6, 2012 at 01:00 pm

What is the excuse now that it is Nov 6th?? Where is the gov't?? Where is the fuel?? How are generators supposed to be refueled? Where are air drops of blankets and essentials to the hardest hit areas? If you have the time to post here please also take the time to send an eMail to your local representative to let them know we need supplies to those who don't have power. Kids are freezing!! It's Election Day....get their attention and tell them our vote comes with a cost...take care of our neediest citizens!!!

Catherine Walsh November 6, 2012 at 02:26 pm

McBirneys on Bdwy and Jerusalem ave was charging $4.79 everyone in massapequa should boycott this station, they are massapequa residents (the owners and they do this to us)............Pathetic

Catherine Walsh November 6, 2012 at 02:27 pm

McBirney is a Sunoco staton on the corner of Bdwy and Jerusalem.BOYCOTT

Catherine Walsh November 6, 2012 at 02:37 pm

We were prepared with batteries, water, food and gas in our cars, but Governor Cuomo where are the gas tankers that were prepared, Ha as usual it is our fault not the empty suit politicans who can fly and drive around while I cannot even get to work. Governor Cuomo you be prepared we were

I am noticing more stations opening and the lines are not as bad as they were. I got gas in 40 minutes yesterday at the BP on Rt. 109 in Farmingdale. Granted, they jacked the prices up, but sadly, I was willing to pay a little extra to avoid the long wait. Doesn't mean I'll go back there again though.

vhr November 7, 2012 at 04:57 pm

Anyone know of a station pumping gas today in and around 5 Towns or Valley Stream/Lynbrook area? We are getting very low on fuel and my husband drives for a living.

dibs7 November 7, 2012 at 07:07 pm

Any gas by Mineola?

Rahul November 7, 2012 at 07:53 pm

Does anyone in the RVC area have any spare 5-6 gallon gas tanks they can spare or loan?

John Mack November 10, 2012 at 05:15 am

And what have you done for the neighborhood but complain without knowing facts? The station owner and family has served the community since 1962 and has severe damage to their own property. As a frustrated former AG investigator, I have spoken to current investigators who have to continue to respond the calls for "gouging", I can assure you that all 6 times they have been to the location, they have found the station to have all documents and paperwork in order. The prices reflected are legal and due to high shipping and taxes etc. from bringing in gasoline from North Carolina. BTW each complaint elicits a response, so now resources that can be used elsewhere, keep going to this location which is costing taxpayers money. If you don't agree go elsewhere. Opinions are like a..h.... Everyone has one but some people are just plain a..h.... Try spending your time helping people in real need. We need all the volunteers we can get to help those south of Merrick and in between from east to west into Brooklyn. Maybe we'll run into each other but something tells me you would rather sit around and find something to complain about. Either way good luck I wish you and everyone well. It would be nice if the patch or some other news outlets would actually contact consumer affairs, AG's office and the owners of the station to get the other side of the story. BTW one unnamed news agency has taken down a report of gouging by the Sunoco after actually doing some actual investigating.
