Reduction In Gasoline Use Now Expected
Washington December 29 government petroleum experts foresee a 35 percent drop in 1942 civilian gasoline consumption due to new restrictions preventing ordinary motorists from obtaining tires or inner tubes. Officials say reduced car use will conserve tires and delay direct consumer motor fuel rationing if needed for the war effort. The oil office has prepared a consumer rationing plan for emergencies, details not revealed, while transportation of oil remains a sensitive focus as tankers may be diverted to support Pacific forces.
