Algemene aantekening
The gasoline regulations were implemented on July 21, 1941. Under the new regulations, the pumps were required to be closed every night from 7 pm to 7 am and all day on Sundays. The public was also asked to voluntarily reduce the amount of gasoline and other petroleum products by at least half. Failure to do so, the public was told, would result in rationing. Other gas regulations included the increase in the cost of gas by one cent a gallon as well as restricting the purchase of gas to only cash sales. These regulations were created to reduce the non-essential use of gas and oil during World War II.
