Gas Rationing Expands Nationwide With Inspections and Speed Limits
Price Administrator Leon Henderson announces a nationwide gasoline rationing expansion starting November 7. All 21 million vehicles outside the current rationed area face compulsory tire inspections every 60 days and a 35 mile per hour speed limit for rubber-tired vehicles. The plan adds 20 million passenger cars to rationing, offers basic mileage, and creates a preferred category for essential wartime occupations. Registration and mileage books will be issued, with an AT card and an E card to track allocations.
