Washington gas rationing coupons may outvalue cash
Government plans for gasoline rationing would issue monthly Washington depicted coupons worth one unit of gasoline. Adults with licenses would get a $1 monthly allotment, tradeable on a free market. Coupons, color coded monthly, cover 60 days and are bought at a bank or post office. Gas prices combine pump rates with coupon cost, and distribution aims to cut bureaucracy versus WWII systems.
