Motor fuel ration book and petrol vouchers from 1973. These were issued during the 1973 Arab- Israeli,or Yom Kippur,war. An oil embargo imposed on the United States by OPEC (organisation of petroleum exporting countries),for supplying the Israelis with arms,caused a massive increase in the price of oil. This resulted in petrol shortages,and although ration books were not put in to use,measures,such as reduced speed limits,were used to conserve fuel | |
