Motorists °[M°DM invasion of Europe has thrown a vast and critical burden upon the petroleum resources of the United Nations. In the first eight days of the cam- paign alone Allied aircraft flew 56,000 sorties. Many thousands of oil -burn- ing warships and landing barges are shuttling ceaselessly across the Chan- nel. Tanks, trucks, jeeps, mobile `artillery, ambulances, by the thou- sands, are in action. The driving power behind all this activity is petroledim-gasoline and fuels drawn from a dwindling crude oil supply. But -there is only so much oil. If existing supplies are to prove adequate, the most stringent economy of gasoline and fuel oil must be prac- tised raytised here at home. Canada is able to produce only 15% of her own gas and oil needs. The remainder must be imported from the common pool of the United Nations and the bulk of this is shipped here by tankers. Critical manpower is needed to produce our gasoline and oil. Precious lives and precious ships LES WIWI 0/¢ ®e ROW ag" trust be risked to deliver it to our shores. Invasions, and the difficulties of supply and transportation are not our only problems. Right here in Canada gas and oil are needed in enormous quantities for vital war purposes. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan has consumed as much as 548,000 gallons in a single day. Canada's Navy -expanded since war began from 15 ships to 650 -consumes over 2,150,000 gallons every week. Army training, war plant operation, food production, essential trucking - all , are huge consumers of gasoline and petroleum products. Gasoline is ammunition - ammu- nition of which we have all too little. To waste a gallon of it is a crime against our fight- ing men. An announcement issued by The Department of Munitions and Supply, Honourable C. D. Howe, Minister r Answering Your Questions about the Gasoline Shortage How much gasoline was consumed dur- ing the 54 days of pre invasion bomb. ing? Mare than 200,000,000 gallons. How much fuel oil does a battleship take in one refueling? ... Enough to heat an average house for 350 years. How much fuel does one armoured division consume in every Ave miles of advance? , .. 10,000 gallons. How many gallons of petroleum prod- ucts are required to supply the needs of 500,000 European invasion troops for a week? .. , Over 25,000,000 gallons. MS -14r near — ..__... ._._.. .rr.,.
