Petrol Rations and Oil Tankers: An In-depth Analysis for Private Car Owners During World War II This evocative photograph, titled "Petrol Rations and Oil Tankers," is a diagrammatic explanation by renowned illustrator G.H. Davis, published in August 1941. The image offers a clear and concise analysis of petrol rationing and mileage capacity for private cars during the Second World War. As the world was embroiled in conflict, the demand for fuel skyrocketed, leading governments to implement rationing systems to ensure a fair distribution of resources. In the United Kingdom, the Ministry of Fuel and Power introduced a petrol rationing scheme in January 1940, limiting the amount of fuel that could be purchased based on the horsepower of the vehicle. This image, produced by G.H. Davis for Illustrated London News (ILN), provides a visual representation of the relative basic petrol allowances for private cars for the months of August, September, and October 1941. The diagram illustrates the estimated mileage capacity for cars of varying horsepower, allowing car owners to plan their journeys and manage their fuel usage effectively during wartime. The image also features oil tankers in the background, symbolizing the vital role they played in transporting fuel to various parts of the country. The combination of rationing and efficient transportation systems proved crucial in maintaining the morale and mobility of the population during the challenging years of World War II. This historical photograph offers a fascinating insight into the wartime experience, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals and governments in adapting to the unique challenges posed by the conflict.
