Henderson reported that gaso-

ing in the II eastern states
where passenger cars are aver
aging 5,170 miles a year. He
added that the rationing pro-
gram is saving about 100000
900 miles of tire wear every

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20
(P) - Householders depending
on fuel oil for heating had as
surance of the office OF price
administration today that the
gallonage value of their ration
units would be adjusted this
winter Ito meet any departure
from normal temperatures"
To permit accurate budgeting
Of individual supplies, the new
fuel oil rationing plan will di-
vide the heating season into five
periods, OPA announced yes
terday, with numbered coupons
issued for the specific periods
but useable in advance to meet
needs arising from unusually
cold spells.
ISSUED IN ADVANCE
Explaining that the ration
coupons must be issued in adj
vance and therefore cannot pro-
vide for unusual weather, OPA
added:
"A means of adjusting the
ration to meet any departure
from normal temperatures must
be established. While such ad-
justment is possible by varying
the gallonage value of the cou-
pom unit, the variation cannot
be made accurately in antici-
patton of cold spells.
Adjustment will have to be
made in the period Immediately
following the unusual cold
weather. Thus, if period l is
bitterly cold the unit value of
coupons for period 2 will be in
creased"
The periods will vary slightly
among the four thermal zones, "
OPA said.
While Oct. Is is the tentative
date for local rationing boards
to begin passing upon applica-
tons of fuel oil users, the heat
ing season will be regarded as
under way on Oct. /. Any fuel
oil on hand on that date or pur-
chased afterward, OPA said,
will be part of a householder's
ration regardless of the date the
coupons actually are available.
