This WWII propaganda poster urged carpooling not to save gas, but to save wear and tear on tires. Rubber was in short supply, and was needed for the military. Link -via Reddit
...and blogs that don't know to remove a period from the end of a URL are a little frustrating. Here's the link sans period: http://intel.planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/sigbig.jpg
One of my favorite WWII posters, I photoshopped it for what was once my favorite multiplayer game, Battlefield 1942: http://intel.planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/sigbig.jpg. "F7 F5" in the game has your character say "hop in", something you should tell other nearby players if the vehicle you're driving has room.
Well, Hitler (and his army) rode along in GM-trucks (GM owned Opel from 1929) so the little bit of rubber-saving probably doenst amount to much: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/07/INGPHNCLHH1.DTL
