"Rationed"????
Unless I'm mistaken, gas hasn't been rationed in this Country since WWII!
I do remember sitting in line for gas in the '70's- but never had to pass over a coupon or anything...
In California, you could only buy gas on odd or even days, dependant upon the last digit of your license plate. In my book that is rationing. If you can't buy it when you want to and have the time and money to do so, but can't because of government edict, it's rationed
