Gasoline was rationed during World War II because there were massive shortages due to the war effort. The U.S. Office of Price Administration issued a nationwide rationing in 1942 to assist in the war effort that ended in 1945. What was in shortage was rubber, not gasoline, and the best way to lower the rubber usage was to limit the amount of gasoline people could purchase to use in their cars.
