The good old days. i vaguely remember those. i was only 11 then. but i remember my grandparents complaining about it. i was driving for the 79 "shortage" and clearly remember the odd/even thing. many of the stations around here the attendants also looked at your fuel gauge, and if we had over a half tank, they wouldn't sell us any gas. i remember super long lines too......

Xtors 327 Posted March 18, 2022 During those days my father rigged a gizmo on the gas gauge to make it intentionally read low so he could get gas whenever he wanted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a Hess station that typically had a line about a quarter mile long. Every day at least one car would run out of gas and had to be pushed into the station.

Displaced Texan 11,653 Posted March 21, 2022 Unfortunately for gas prices, the oil that’s pumped from the ground today won’t be in your gas tank for several months. We will be feeling this pain for awhile. I hope it works to our advantage come November. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A friend had an odd plate and I had an even one. We would swap plates get gas and swap back. I don't recall anyone checking the gauge. I do remember a 7 gallon limit and since I had a Pontiac Bonneville and my friend had a Cadillac Fleetwood 7 gallons wasn't much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a way used 1971 gto with a 455 in it. 89 cents late 80's . 20 dollars i was good for a week of easy driving, no stomping on the gas of course. I used to say 5 dollars reg , as a kid, now the 20 is the new 5 dollars regular. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
