Notes:

 January, 23, 1948. Fuel Shortage Reaches Cuba. Havana: Cars with nearly empty tanks wait outside a Havana service station for gasoline truck to arrive with a much-needed supply. When the fuel is available, only five gallons are sold to a customer under voluntary rationing. Companies report that only one-fourth of normal supply is being received. The situation is a result of the diversion of Gulf tankers to the stricken Atlantic coast of the U.S.
