Why Is The Gasoline
Supply Limited?
In 1941, we civilians used over
71,000,000 gallons of gas every
day. Today we produce a total
of about 75,600,000 gallons a day.
The armed forces and Lend
Lease use almost 26,000,000 gall
ons of that daily supply. This
leaves something like 50,000,000
gallons, or 21,000,000 gallons less
a day for use at home.
An average of at least two
and One-Half Gallons of Gas a
Day is needed for every man in
the armed forces. That is our
essential military “ration”. It
supplies power for planes, tanks,
trucks, jeops, and water craft.
Our fighting machine is geared to
gas. Over 35% of our gas already
goes to war and more of it is
needed every day.
Our supply lines are longer than
the enemies It takes a lot of
gas to carry the fight to the enemy
on his home grounds. _
But Why So Much Gas For War?
Here is'how the military gaso
line is used. A thousand flying
fortresses use 2.500.000 gallons in
a six-hour flight. One recent air
raid over Germany took 1,500,000
gallons to go one hundred miles.
It takes 12,500 gallons to train
a single pilot. A flying fortress
burns 400 gallons of high-octane
gas in one hour. A modern des
troyer bums 3,000 gallons of oil
per hour. An army transport
uses 33,000 gallons of oil per day.
The fast PT boats traveling at 55
knots uses 250 gallons of oil each
per hour.
All this gas must come from
our limited supply. That’s why
gasoline is rationed. Every gal
lon we don’t use here will be used
to choke the Axis over there.
Illegal use of mileage coupons
and Black Market operations are
taking Two and One-Half Million
Gallons of Gas Every Day from
rightful users.
Unless coupon holders cooper
ate fully in preventing this loss
to the normal civilian supply of
gasoline, the OPA will have to
cut the value of “A” coupons.
Here is what we must do:
1. Use only our own coupons.
2. Endorse all our own coup
ons with the name of the state
and the car license number.
3 Kill th Black Market
wherever we meet it.
