Factual error: In Joe's Adventures, there is the level called "Supermarket" where the Empire Bay Police Department sends in the SWAT team to confront you. This mission takes place in 1951. SWAT was not invented and utilised until the mid-1960s.
Continuity mistake: Vito is imprisoned in May of '45. He is in prison 17 days when he receives news of his mother's death. The letter is postmarked Jan 25th.
Question: Why was it important for Vito to get the food stamps to gas stations before midnight?
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).
