When I tried a quick run-through of reorganisation I see the Italians have 1.45 to reorganise. After I used up the 1, the program wouldn't let me reorganise the remaining 0.45. Is this something peculiar to have just 1 oil available? I couldn't see anything to that effect in RAC.
If you only have 1 oil you can't reorg more than 1 worth of units.

Thanks - is that in the rules? I couldn't see it but then I probably have missed it...
It sort of is in the rules. But should really need a clarification in the FAQ. I know this has been asked and discussed many times in the past.
The reasoning here is that you must trace to an oil in order to reorganize a unit. And you can not trace to an oil you do not have. Easy to see if you have no oil at all. But if you have 1 oil and want to reorganize for 1.4 oil, then the first units use up the oil and the remaining units have no oil to trace to since the only oil has already been used up. So you must have an oil to trace to in order to use the rounding.
RAC: 13.5.1 Oil (AfA option 48)
If you are playing with this option, you only automatically organize units during the final reorganization step
if they are not oil dependent. To organize oil dependent units, you must spend oil resources. Oil dependent units are
shown on the Unit costs chart (a separate PDF document).
[Clarification. You can use your own oil or oil from a co-operating major power to organize your units. Communist
and nationalist Chinese can use each other’s oil - Dec 28, 2007. Ships and aircraft at sea consume oil if
reorganized, but they do not need to trace a path to the oil resource. 2008 WIF Annual.]
You do not have to transport the oil anywhere. But you must be able to trace a path from the unit to the oil
resource. This path is exactly like a basic supply path (including via overseas) (see 2.4.2) except that it can be of
any length. [Clarification. Only oil in friendly territory may be used. This means that oil in Persia and Venezuela
can not be used if it resides in neutral territory - Jan. 30, 1997. Co-operating major powers may freely use each
other’s oil, provided the owner agrees. 2008 WIF Annual.]
No more than 5 units can trace a path to the same oil resource.
Work out how many oil dependent units you want to organize. Each HQ-I counts as 2 units, each HQ-A
counts as 3 and each aircraft that takes 2 turns to build counts as half a unit. Divide the total by 5. This is the
minimum number of oil resources (whether from the current turn or saved) that you must spend. This means that you
can organize 2 units for nothing (because 0.4 rounds to zero).
If 3 or more units trace a path to the same oil resource, you must spend that resource. This may mean that
you will have to spend more oil resources than the minimum number.
Example: You have only 2 oil resources and 6 disorganized oil dependent units. You will have to spend a
minimum of 1 oil resource to organize them because 6/5 = 1.2, which rounds to 1. You will only have to spend the
minimum if 4 or 5 of the units can trace a path to the same resource. But suppose that 3 units can only trace to 1 of
the resources and the other 3 can only trace to the second resource. In that case, you would have to spend both
resources to organize all 6 units.
Each naval unit (CVPiF/SiF option 56: or carrier plane) you organize counts as half a unit and each convoy
point counts as a quarter of a unit.
CLiF option 75: Each CA or CL you organize counts as a quarter of a unit.
