I don't know about that. My Dad tells me he drove cross country to visit home and wasn't going to be allowed gas due to rationing even though he was nearly empty. He told the station he was military and they let him get some. That seems way worse.

I was just a youngin but I don't remember rationing per se. There were long lines, sometimes stations were out of gas, but nobody was barred from buying gas if they got to the head of the line and gas was available. At least in Louisiana.
