I also remember both gas crisis. I think the 1st one limited you to $5.00 max each fillup. I was a teenager and didn't seem to get in my way.

The one I remember the most was in I think 79. That was when I was in CA and I don't think the rest of the country was affected like CA was. My parents told me things were not that bad in the east just high prices.

I will never forget the lines and having to get into one for hours. People were pushing their cars because they ran out before they could fill up.

Anyone remember the the Moody modification? Not sure of the exact name may have been different. Someone reported this mod would give it something like 50 miles to the gal. The idea went away and nothing was heard about it again.

I was working for NASA at the time and all the old engineers were saying the big oil companies bought the idea and squashed it. I've often wondered if it was true or just some rumor. Anyone remember this thing?
