Seemed to work just fine then.


But, then again, you and I didn't LIVE through rationing in WW2.

I lived through "rationing" in the bogus "fuel shortage" of 1973, where
all the gas stations, full to overflowing with gas, were simply closed to
boost the prices. At the time, I owned a motorhome with saddle tanks and
they opened the stations one day a week with no limits on how much you
could buy. I filled the motorhome and parked it at home with 70 gallons
of gas in it. To go with the motorhome, I had a little Honda 90
motorcycle for local transportation when vacationing in the motorhome. I
drove the Honda, except on really rainy days, for the rest of the "gas
crisis", which was totally bogus.

My uncle is a private pilot. He took a news photographer, from the local
newspaper in PA, for a ride out over the ocean during the crisis to show
him the huge line of tankers waiting offshore to come into port and dump
all the gas aboard. Bogus, just a battle between America and Big Oil to
jack the prices to current levels.

Just like the inflated price of a car, truck or SUV....we've gotten used
to it. The Federal Reserve Bankers win again.....
