Mike writes, "Many of us think we need to be on the road far more than we actually do. Of course many drive long distances to work, or as part of their job. But there was a time when gas was in far more short supply than now, as this article indicates, from the Adair County News, 22 March 1944, at the height of our involvement in World War II."
