Gas cost contest

As all of y'all know , New York together with New Bailiwick of Jersey are having huge gas lines inwards the wake (still) of hurricane Sandy. Both are enforcing laws against "gouging ," together with New Jersey's attorney full general , apparently having fourth dimension on his hands , is going later people who listed gas for resale on Craigslist.

Let's offset a fiddling comments attempt contest. If New York together with New Bailiwick of Jersey permit people accuse whatever they wanted for gas , together with prices went upward to $25 per gallon then...

Here are some ideas to larn y'all started

• People would voluntarily remain home.
• Rather than allocating gas to people amongst fourth dimension on their hands to facial expression inwards describe , gas would become to people who are actually busy. 
• People would voluntarily degree carpools. Better , they would advertise for paying carpool mates on Craigslist , together with the minivan possessor running it would hold upward able to larn gas. 
• People who accept emergencies , similar married adult woman needing to become to the infirmary to deliver a babe , could larn gas to create so. 
• Ditto emergency services , burn downwards , ambulances , cops
• Gas stations would accept bought generators , thence they could catch together with sell gas at a big net when the ability goes out.
• Gas stations would purchase said generators now. (We demand to larn rid of gouging laws on the generators equally good , thence that gas stations needing generators tin pay through the olfactory organ to larn them , instead of somebody who wants to recharge his iphone.)
• People who don't accept to become anywhere would siphon their gas together with sell it neighbors. Or second-car gas. 
• They'd siphon their lawnmowers too.
• People would rent tanker trucks , movement to a greater extent than or less the northeast , purchase gas together with resell it inwards NY.
• Actually , people powerfulness larn a bunch of gas cans together with movement the gas inwards from rural areas inwards the dorsum of pickups. Not certain if this is a skilful sentiment , specially for smokers , simply it would meliorate gas supplies.  
• Exxon would accept spent the coin for to a greater extent than storage tanks inwards NJ , get to sell gas at high prices inwards an emergency. 

OK , y'all larn the idea. I took the depression hanging fruit , simply you've got fourth dimension on your hands , evidently , you're reading a blog. Let's run into some inventiveness here. 

Interactions betwixt gas together with New York's reported prohibitions on domicile made nutrient for shelter , tree clearance without permits , restrictive taxi together with limo licensing laws , taxi prices , etc. are specially welcome. 

Stories of marketplace position adaptation to rationing rules are also welcome.  I get together that amongst AG prosecution for gas pricing inwards the air , Craigslist ads instantly ask $5 for gallon of gas. $100 for container. Are local teenagers yet starting fiddling businesses to become larn gas for neighbors? --"For $25 I'll become facial expression inwards describe together with get total upward your car?" Are people swapping plates yet?
