GAS RATIONING'S THE BUNK THERE'S PLENTY OF GASOLINE FOR EVERYBODY.
WHAPDA THEY MEAN SHORTAGE ? THERE'S ALWAYS GAS IN THE
THE ILY REASON FOR GAS RATIONING IS TO SAVE RUBBER.
\ X These men dorit know the true facts. Do you ? * Remarks like these are not uncommon. Perharuvnn’ve Tin. rhor, .....— — - ■'
V V s.
Remarks like these are not uncommon. Perhaps you’ve heard them made by your friends and neighbors—men and women whom you rightly consider good American citizens, upright and thoroughly well-intentioned. You wouldn't think of questioning their patriotism,
either.
Yet, on this matter of gasoline rationing, such remarks mean just one0/two things: Misunderstanding, or lack of correct information; You, as a motorist, have so much at stake in this matter of the nation’s gasoline supply that you certainly should know the true facts. And we of the Petroleum Industry have so much at stake that we are bound to give them to you with utmost frankness.
This, then, is the true situation:
There is not plenty of gasoline—not even here in the
Central States.
Our armed forces get first call on the nation's gasoline supply, of course. Their needs arc tremendous— have been growing steadily greater month by month since we entered the war—will, undoubtedly, increase still further in the months to come. Huge as these military needs are, they're being met—and will be. When that is done, however, there just isn't enough gasoline left over to permit civilian motorists to drive "as usual." Fortunately, there is enough to give everybody some gasoline, IF—if it can be shared fairly, and only if
it is so shared,
That's why there must be rationing, and that’s why it’s to your own personal, selfish interest to help make rationing work. If it doesn't work, somebody is going
to go without any gasoline—it could be you;
Furthermore, in the aitical months to come, if our present system of gasoline rationing fails, much more drastic measures for control will be imposed—that you
can depend on. Don’t let it happen!
How you can help make gas rationing work: Don’t apply for more gas than you really need. Get into a ride-shar-ing club and stick to it. Endorse all your gas coupons now—don't give any away. Don't lake extra gas or
coupons from anyone.
