Post-Sandy Fuel Finder

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, fuel shortages have driven motorists throughout the city to despair as scores of stations either close or have blocks-long lines of cars waiting for gas. 

That's led to savvy drivers using other means to find what stations are open and have the shortest lines, including Twitter, crowdsourcing platforms like Reddit and old-fashioned word-of-mouth.

Here's a list of useful links to bookmark before heading out to fill up your vehicle or generator tank.

Hess Station Fuel Information: Hess is regularly updating the fuel inventory of hundreds of stations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia. The company advises drivers to hit stations reporting over 5,000 gallons of gas.
