December 4, 1942 IIRC, Prez FDR/Federal government implemented gas rationing and determined who got how much gas during WWII and pople were allocated gas rationing stamps. For example, joe blow citizen was allocated an issued lean amount of RATIONING STAMPS the govt; on the other end of the scale agriculture got all they needed/wanted. This was last round of gas rationing in the US. Voluntary throttling quantity by gas retailers,turning off the pump at 6:00P, and odd/even days (to discourage paranoid people from constatly topping off their tank when t got down to 7/8 and creating longgggg lines at the pump) are a business/management decision. There is a world of difference when the Federal gov't controls how much you can buy of something (rationing), and when a business voluntarily implements a legal decision of their own.
