A new report indicates that the New York National Guard has dispatched a few "mobile gas stations" to get gasoline out to the city, but is indicating that "service vehicles" have priority, and individuals must wait until that need is filled.

The good news is that for those who can get it, the gasoline will be free (with a 10 gallon limit).

While the headline and the article both emphasize the "free gas" thing, the article does show a picture that suggests what a "mobile gas station" looks like, although details are obscured by the emphasis on "getting a good publicity shot."

The article also does give some indication of fairly short term prospects for refueling, although the 46 million(?) gallons mentioned as "coming" isn't going to be enough for everyone who will want to "get theirs first."
