Question: Why was it important for Vito to get the food stamps to gas stations before midnight?
Question: This question applies to the Mafia Trilogy. Did any of the named businesses that appeared, were mentioned on the radio as well as products that were mentioned like beer and cigarettes actually exist in the eras where the games were set, or were they made up for the games?
Answer: All made up.
Answer: In the game, Vito steals gas stamps (not food stamps). However, after the robbery, Henry sees that the gas stamps expire at midnight, so they would have no value the next day. (Gas stamps were used to ration how much gas someone could buy, without a stamp, you couldn't get gas, even if you had money).
