The regula. tions went into effect two weeks ago and as most of the pleasure driving occurs over the week end, the weather appears to have taken a. hand in the matter by keeping the motorists home. There has been a noticeable reduction in the amount of gasoline sold. it was learned from dealers last night, but it would be some time yet be- fore the actual amount could be determined. The retailers had a suPP1Y on hand when the regula- tions went into force‘ and when this is used up. it would be easier to determine just how much sales have been lowered.
