Rationing.

Rationing during World War 2:

ameshistoricalsociety.org

Gasoline was rationed:
“The green ‘B’ sticker was for driving deemed essential to the war effort; industrial war workers, for example, could purchase eight gallons a week. Red ‘C’ stickers indicated physicians, ministers, mail carriers and railroad workers. ‘T’ was for truckers, and the rare ‘X’ sticker went to members of Congress and other VIPs. Truckers supplying the population with supplies had a T sticker for unlimited amounts of fuel.”

/The more things change, the more they remain the same.
