Yes, gasoline was rationed during WWII, but it wasn't a matter of ration stamps, but cards. The local ration board assigned either a "A," "B," or "C" card depending upon what the primary usage of the vehicle was. For example, even though my dad and grand-dad were in the farm equipment sales and repair business, and made on-the-farm service calls, their company vehicle only got an "A" card, which was the lowest level of fuel allowed. In contrast, my dad also applied for a ration card for his two-wheeled garden tractor...and was issued a "C" card (virtually unlimited fuel usage)! But then, "victory gardens" were considered very important to the war effort.
