Only Gas-Eaters
Might Run Out
On State ’Pikes
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI)— Only a person driving a real gas-
eater should have any fear of running out of fuel on Oklahoma
toll roads. W. D. Hoback, state turnpike authority manager, said
Thursday.
He said a car would have to be getting only about 5 miles per
gallon to run out on the Indian Nation Turnpike, and could get
less than that and still be safe on other roads.
Oklahoma turnpike service stations are limiting customers to
10 gallons per stop.
Hoback also disputed a published report that Oklahoma
turnpikes are the only ones rationing gasoline. He said ration-
ing is still in effect on toll roads in New York, Maine, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and Kansas.
Hoback said there are three stations each way on the Turner
Turnpike, between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and at least two
station stops each way on all others except the Muskogee
Turnpike. The latter has only one stop each way but is only 50
miles long.
Taking the Turner Turnpike as an example, Hoback said a
motorist could buy as much as 30 gallons of gasoline by stopping
three times on the 88-mile route and buying 10 gallons each time.
At night time, one station is dosed each way on the Turner,
but a driver could still buy 20 gallons going either direction.
The state's longest turnpike is the 105-mile Indian Nation. It
has two stations, permitting a person to buy a total of 20 gallons.
That figures just slightly more than five miles per gallon.
"You'd have to be driving a real gas-eater not to make it,” he
said.
Hoback said none of the Oklahoma turnpike service stations
have run out of gasoline.
