Petrol Coupons Regulation
[Per Press Association. Copyright.] WELLINGTON, This' Day.
If the holder of a petrol license does not purchase the full amount allowed in any month, this fact will not be used against him during' future months when Iris full allocation is required, according to the Minister of Supply, who made n statement on the subject last night. “Motorists who do not use the whole of their licenses are helping the country in the war effort,” said Mr Sullivan. “They will not be prejudiced by these economies,’ he said. Mr Sulilvan said that advice had reached him of motorists virtually wasting petrol in order to use up the full quota allowed. Other cases had been reported of drivers offering to make the unused surplus available to service stations for resale. The persons concerned were probably not aware that this was illegal. Petrol obtained under a license was for consumption in the vehicles named in the license.
