In October 1973, Arab oil producers placed an embargo on a group of countries led by the US over their support for Israel during the Yom Kippur war. That policy came alongside a co-ordinated cut to oil production.

Yes, but they eventually realized that wasn't such a good thing long term.

But it did give us the song Low Rider, so it wasn't all bad.

And lets not forget the nationwide 55 MPH speed limit.

The only speeding ticket my dad ever got was when he and mom were driving to Florida from Michigan. He got ticketed in Ohio for doing 60 in a 55......And to make matters worse, he was tracked by a state police airplane.....
