I remember it well. Don't forget the 55 MPH speed restriction. Boy did that suck !
The most amazing thing to me about that era was how soon we, as a nation, forgot about it as soon as gas became more plentiful. If we would have stayed on course from that era to have more public transportation and economical cars we sure wouldn't be so dependent on the middle east for our oil fix. And I'm as guilty as the next guy.
I always said I'll park my 3 cars, boat,jetski & RV when our presidents quit using that 747 for photo opps.
