You know that ALL members of Congress, bureaucrats, their families, etc., would ALL have the "X" stickers.How would the average person today react to only having 3 to 4 gallons of gas per week?
From the WIKI -
An " A " sticker on a car was the lowest priority of gasoline rationing and entitled the car owner to 3 to 4 US gallons of gasoline per week. B stickers were issued to workers in the military industry, entitling their holder to up to 8 US gallons of gasoline per week. C stickers were granted to persons deemed very essential to the war effort, such as doctors. Motorcycles had D papers and motorcycle users who were essential to the war got M papers. E and R stickers applied to small and heavy highway machinery, respectively. T stickers were made available for truckers. Lastly, X stickers on cars entitled the holder to unlimited supplies and were the highest priority in the system. Clergy, police, firemen, and civil defense workers were in this category.[9] A scandal erupted when 200 Congressmen received these X stickers.[10] Referring to the lowest tier of this system, American motorists jokingly said that OPA stood for “Only a Puny A-Card.”
