Wayne voted against On Owens. the, Mahon amendment halfway mark now that we're in the midst of a genuine, and increasingly acute, nationwide gasoline shortage-- is "half empty." What's the difference? Drive around looking for gasoline in an unfamiliar town somewhere on your vacation and you're liable to find out. The hard way. The difference is this. "Half full" means you're assuming there's a service station right up the road ready to fill up your tank an unrealistic assumption in view of current gasoline allocation programs. But "half empty" means you know that because of the gasoline shortage that station up the road may not be open and you'r prepared with enough gasoline to find Will gasoline be ratiorted this summer at Phillips 66 stations? Yes, in some areas. In fact, Phillips put into effect an allocation program on May 1,1973. Allocation is a way to avoid a situation that permits some areas to have enough gasoline supplies at the some time other areas are suffering shortages. Gasoline will be made available to each distributor, on an equitable one that With less gasoline available at the same time more gasoline is needed by an increasing number of cars on the highways, many service stations may have to restrict their hours of sale, or limit the number of gallons sold to each customer to avoid being sold out is. We call it "driving on the top half of your tank" never letting your fuel gaugedrop below the halfway point and it's an almost certain way for Phillips 66 customers to avoid running' out of gasoline while vacationing this summer.

If your vacation plans do require a car, be sure to plan ahead. Before taking off on your vacation, have your itinerary carefully laid out. Route yourself in the most direct way, preferably along highways where gas oline stations are likely to be more numerous. Avoid driving at night, as many stations are closing much earlier. In short, know where you're going and how to get there. Keep your engine tuned. Do it on a regular basis, as outlined in your owner's manual, and particularly before going on vacation. A poorly tuned engine dirty filters, plugs and valves drastically reduce gas mileage. Keep tires properly inflated. Underinflation can reduce gasciine mileage as well as shorten the life of the tire. Other things you can do are turn off your engine when parked, avoid g "jackrabbit starts," and drive at steady rather than erratic highway speeds. Above all, reduce ycur highway speed.

Thus, 9 6 , J, i I t I I I e 4 r i everybody shares the unavoidable gasoline shortage; everybody shares the available gasoline supply, Will there be times when some Phillips 66 service stations won't have gasoline to sell? Yes, it is possible for short periods of time. of gasoline. How long is the gasoline shortage going to last? 1 A reasonable assumption 8 months to three years. at least 4 What needs to be done? Even with our refineries running : a at maximum capacity our supplies of gasoline have just not kept up with rising demand. To make more gasoline available to consumers, the petroleum industry must build new refineries as new secure and dependable sources of crude oil can be found. And improve its distribution systems, while protecting the environment and earning a reasonable profit. The shortage can be corrected. But it will take the effort and cooperation of a lot of different people in business, labor and government to get the job done. Meanwhile, you ccn help. Sure, there's not much you can do about supply, but there's plenty you can do about demand. By demanding less.
