    Gas Rationing Pre WW2

    Were there any gas rationing stickers used before World War Two?
    I suppose it would not be incorrect to have a rationing stickers on an A as they were still quite abundant during the 1940’s, although if there were stickers used in the 30’s it would be more authentic.
    Where would one find a reproduction sticker?

    No rationing before 1942, and yes it looks good on any pre-War car.

    I have seen repops for sale at swap meets probably they are on Amazon or one of the vendors. .

      I could be all wet but i thought rationing was a WW2 deal only.

      The old timer that would be 107 years old today who taught me so much about As and Ts had an A coupon because he was involved in defense engineering. He modified his wife's Austin (little tiny car with a little tiny engine) so that it would run on cleaning fluid, which was readily available in drug stores. She drove all over the place.

      He never mentioned any rationing before that. He was born 1911

              Warning for Storing or Carrying Spare Gas
              by Tom Wesenberg
              I always try to only buy the better gas without corn crap for use in my antique cars and small engines, but even the better gas has a very different vapor pressure than the good gas we bought in the 60's and 70's. Here is a 2 1/2 gallon plastic gas container, which is half full with 2 cycle mix for some of my small engines. Yesterday I had to move the jug to the shade, as I was afraid of getting too...

              Some Good News, Maybe, (gas)
              by Terry, NJ
              With this "buyer shortage" of gasoline backing up supplies, is it possible they've taken the "hol" out of gas? It occurs to me that we're getting our gas sans alcohol to increase the gas consumption by 10%. Two days ago, I bought a tankful ($1.97 in Pa) and the car hasn't run so well at any time in it's life, which got me to thinking, Hhhhhmmmmm, maybe it's real gas! This was...

              crazy gas fix from years gone by.....
              by Larrys40
              I was working on a car last week and I looked at the gas tank I through the filler hole and with tank empty saw a light bulb at the bottom. I though great.. how am I getting that one out! I had to laugh and then looked closer and you can see the photos... I've seen lots of fixes but this one takes the cake!

              If it would have had wires to it it one would have been a bomb and two a lighted...

              Model A's In Commercial's and The Movies?
              by Leo
              I was in the car wash yesterday and noticed a guy with a nice mid 80's Mercedes coupe. We struck up a conversation about the car and he said that he was on his way to a commercial shoot in NYC. He went on to say that he has this car registered with an agency that supplies vehicles to photographers who want them for commercials. He also told me that the typical fee for using his car was $1000 for a...

              Where do you put it?
              by KB9JLO
              I will be picking up my A next week and most likely it will be going into our garage. That probably won't be the long term location... Working out what to do in the back yard.
              Which gets to my question. What do you guys do? My concern is storing the car - with gas in it. House is a bilevel with a gas hot water heater in there, as well as the furnace.
              I desperately want to see the engine...

              A fuel stabilizer that really works
              by tbirdtbird
              Finally a gasahol additive that works.
              This is light years ahead of Stabil.
              Had dinner with a chemical engineer at the Model A Christmas party, who has a couple As and a farm with large storage tanks of both diesel and gasoline.
              He swears by this stuff.
              The additive for gas is PRI-G, and for diesel, is PRI-D

              The writeup says it will make gas last for years with...

              Hard starts
              by slammin
              My tudor is parked in my heated shop, never below 42 degrees. I only start the 29 once every few weeks, take it out and put 3 or 4 miles on her. The last few times shes been tough to start and doesn't want keep running until I make a few attempts. It smells like it is running rich, but tends to backfire a few times before the idle smooths out. Once out on the road, I get a lot of vibration from the...

              additive to prevent gas congealing if you have old gas
              by ClaudeC
              does anybody use this stuff, if you don't use your car that often?
              Old gas...I guess you should see a doctor.

              Electric Cars 1870's -- Prior to Gas Engines
              by H. L. Chauvin
              A few years ago one of my family members died and we were going through our family estate colonial historical documents in our ancient land grant estate house.

              We found a later 1905 dated post card written to my grandfather from his Godchild who was studying to become Priest at the Marist Seminary in Maryland.

              He described how the night before, his seminary student friend...

              Today's Gas Price, Are They Crazy?
              by Tom Wesenberg
              My neighbor just sent me this email and picture. I always buy the non ox gas for my Model A and Studebaker, but I pay about 50 cents a gallon extra. This price is insane. BTW, notice the E-85 and E-30, they are a good way to destroy engines, lower power and mileage.

              Stopped to get gas today in Isanti. I asked the gal at the counter if they were selling much Premium gas ($6.65/gal) - she...
