Gasoline was rationed on May 15, 1942 on the east coast of the US, and nationwide that December. The Office of Price Administration issued various stickers to be affixed to the car's windshield, depending on need. To get your classification and ration stamps, you had to certify to a local board that you needed gas and owned no more than five tires.

The 'A' sticker was issued to owners whose use of their cars was
nonessential. Hand the pump jockey your Mileage Ration Book coupons and
cash, and she (yes, female service station attendants) could sell you three
or four gallons a week, no more (there was no "self service"). For nearly a year, A-stickered cars were not to be driven for pleasure at all.

The green 'B' sticker was for driving deemed essential to the war effort;
industrial war workers, for example, could purchase eight gallons a week.
Red 'C' stickers indicated physicians, ministers, mail carriers and railroad
workers, and incidentally were the most counterfeited type. 'T' was for
truckers, and the rare 'X' sticker went to Members of Congress and other VIPs.
