Yep, the good ol' days of waiting until 2:00am to visit the local all nighter because the gas lines were shorter at that time of the day...

Gas cap locks were REAL popular too.

Yeah — if you’re young, you don’t realize that its because of the 70s gas crises that all cars now come with a locked gas hatch cover that can only be popped from inside the car as standard equipment.

Prior to the 70s, there was no locked hatch and no locking caps. When locking caps became popular in the 70s, they required a key, which was inconvenient.

So starting in the 80s cars started making hatches that could only be opened from inside the car. No extra key required.
