NEW YORK-- New York drivers are waking up Friday to the first extensive gas rationing since the fuel crisis of the 1970s, as the Northeast struggles to recover from the destruction of Superstorm Sandy and a succeeding snowstorm. Authorities were set to be at gas stations to apply the new system, which began at 5 a.m. in Long Island and at 6 a.m. in New York City. "This is designed to let everybody have a fair chance, so the lines aren't too oppressive and that we can get through this," Mayor Michael Bloomberg stated. After a hard commute Thursday night that saw greatly armed police trying to quiet crowds at area bus and train stations, New Jersey authorities are adding free of cost buses and ferries Friday to attempt and ease commutes that have been 4 and five times longer than normal all week.

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
