[QUOTE="john250, post: 515430, member: 4406"] The first arab oil embargo, in the '70's, was a bizarre time. The solution was to share the pain with rationing. Not real rationing, but the old Soviet system, where you stand in line for everything. A lot of folks went from running on fumes all the time to keeping the tank topped off. I never spent much time waiting on gas, as the country remained a little more calm than the cities. But the US shure waisted a lot of time in gas lines back then. It was during that time that a genius local service station guy told me that gasoline was not short because the stuff just rains back down after it is burned. Really. I didn't say anything. But he wasn't filling my car from a puddle. BTW, it was a 65 Mustang with a 289 4-bbl and a 4 speed. Wish I had THAT one back. Lucky I survived. [/QUOTE]
