Fuel Distribution Odd-Even System

10 posts 10 threadsMar 18, 12:00 PM 1 9 0

Sri Lanka introduces a new fuel distribution method where vehicles can obtain fuel based on their number plate digits on specific days. This system aims to manage fuel supplies and reduce long queues at fuel stations.

So now getting fuel is like playing numerical bingo - even Steven gets gas on even days, odd Omar on odd days. Just when you thought navigating a fuel crisis couldn't get more complicated, Sri Lanka turns it into a mathematical treasure hunt where your license plate determines your automotive destiny.
