Yeah around 73/74, the powers to be played around with a trumped up gas shortage.
They even passed a "nationwide" speed limit on highways of "55", because it was supposed to be the optimum speed for best gas mileage on most cars. Many roads "Still" have the ridiculous 55 limit today, where 65 or 70 is suitable and should be changed/posted!
They created the shortage for profits, and gas stations were always running out of gas because of that.
There were long, long, long lines of cars waiting to get gas. So as to ease the situation, gas stations posted signs stating, cars will be filled with "Odd" number license plates only today. The next day would be "Even" number license plates only.
I remember waiting on a gas line on my "even" number plates day for well over an hour, and just when the car in front of me was filled up, the gas station attendant put up sign, " Sorry Out Of Gas"! Man I was pissed, but who knew if they really were out of gas or not. So, off to another station I go and wait again. Ugh!
Ah, memories!
