Military Bases Limit Gas For Navy Families
Military personnel and dependents limited to 12 gallons per sale at two Naval Base service stations following a chief of naval operations directive. Gasoline prices also raised to 36.9 cents per gallon regular and 39.9 cents for premium to align within two cents of local brands. Cmdr. Lawrence Finbraaten, 80, said the two gallon limit is a conservation reminder and not due to a severe shortage.
