Which 70's gas crisis? All sorts of rationing plans, gimmicks, and black market stuff going on in both. I could buy all the fuel I wanted at twice the price and a friend whose license plate "ODD" (his first name) was an even day buyer.

Once you left the panic buying cities, there was all the fuel you could load at the normal price.
