High gas prices mean more break-downs
More people are running out of gas because high fuel price, and that's taxing the state Department of Transportation. Highway Emergency Response Operators – or HEROs -- are getting 20 calls per shift on average to help people who say they're out of gas. HEROs can give a stranded motorist up to a gallon of gas to help get them to the nearest gas station.
