Me too. Don't remember the card . . .

. . . but remember the "A", "B", "C" stickers on the cars, with the back advising to "Keep it under 35" to save tires, which was the real reason for rationing as the Japs had all the rubber plantations by then.

"A" (you and me) was good for four gallons a week, "B" (Businesses) was good for eight. I dunno about "C" (Professionals like doctors). There were others for Trucks, Messengers, etc.
