Loophole in fuel rationing lets private planes fly free
Washington officials acknowledge a gap in wartime gas rules allowing private airplanes to demand unlimited gasoline for travel. The loophole arises from Master Regulation 438.01 which permits fuel for aircraft engines with no cap, while OPA rules apply only to 86 octane fuel usage. Civil Aviation Administration lists 22,367 licensed private planes. flying is expanding despite wartime restrictions. Henry of the Automobile Association calls for immediate repeal of the unlimited plane fuel ration.
