HISTORY: The “X” sticker was issued in special instances for high mileage type jobs such as traveling salesmen that need to d be able to purchase gasoline in unlimited quantities. Many rich people and politicians also received these stickers. Actually, gas wasn’t what they were rationing at all. The main purpose of the restrictions on gas purchasing was to conserve tires. Japanese armies in the Far East had cut the U.S. off from its chief supply of rubber. Rationing was handled through the federal Office of Price Administration. To get a classification and rationing stamps, citizens appeared at the OPA office in person and swore to the high heavens that they needed gas desperately and owned no more than five automobile tires (any in excess of five were confiscated by the government). Each driver was given a windshield sticker that proclaimed his classification for all the world to see. Theoretically, each gallon of gasoline sold was accounted for at that time. The buyer surrendered his stamp at the point of purchase, and the vendor forwarded the records to the OPA. Gas rationing began nationwide on December 1, 1942, and ended on August 15, 1945. Speed limits were 35 MPH for the duration. For a short time in 1943, rations were reduced further, and all pleasure driving was outlawed.
