About seven years too late, but better late than never I guess.

I guess you weren't around in the 1970s. Gasoline shortages, lines, locking gas caps...

Bingo! so many "tree huggers" of today have no clue what the country went through during Jimmah Carter's presidency.

Of course all they teach at school is the "air brushed" version.

Remember the odd-even plan? If you had a license plate starting with an odd number, you could fill up your tank only on Monday/Wed/Fri. If you had an even number, you could fill up only on Tues/Thurs/Sat. Sunday was a free day. I don't know how they enforced this, but it was the law here in California during those days when gasoline was scarce.

I remember we had to park our car on the street in a long line the night before in order to get gas the next morning when the station opened. It was the only gas station near us that actually had gas! It was pretty scary there for a while.
