captpackrat 05/30/23 5:36:32 AM #1:	Could you get by with just 4 gallons of gas per week? I don't drive I have an electric or alternative fuel vehicle I ride a motorcycle I could easily use less than 4 gallons a week I could make due with 4 gallons, but I'd have to change my driving habits I car pool (or can), and could get by with an 8 gallon per week "B" sticker I work in an essential profession, so gimmie that "C" sticker! I would need more gas than my sticker would entitle me.

Along with the sticker for you car, you would receive a book of ration coupons which you would hand in when buying gas. The most common was the "A" sticker, which entitled you to up to 4 gallons of gas per week. "B" stickers were generally issued to workers who car pooled; this was limited to 8 gallons per week. "C" stickers were for essential professions, such as doctors, nurses, dentists, priests, mailmen, farmers, construction/maintenance workers, and soldiers. "D" stickers were used for motorcycles. There were also "E" stickers for emergency vehicles (police, fire, etc), "R" for off-road machinery (tractors, combines, etc), "T" for truckers, and the controversial "X" which allowed unlimited gasoline, usually given to VIPs. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/3/1/AAQwHjAAEhfD.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/3/2/AAQwHjAAEhfE.jpg --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:973805988] in Could you ...
