Officials say motorists will use cars less to save tires for emergencies and essential travel, possibly delaying direct consumer fuel rationing. The plan also prepares a consumer gasoline rationing system if war demands it, though details are not released. The petroleum office notes transportation constraints and tanker needs for Pacific war efforts.
