The need for rationing is due to increased military demands for petroleum products, particularly fuel oil, for the Pacific theater. The statement also explains the current allocation of gasoline for different users and the challenges in meeting demands. The goal is to relax or eliminate rationing once gasoline supplies are sufficient.
