Ah yea,..... I remember the fuss in the media. We had ODD/EVEN days. I was a young tike back then and what I remember most was Dad took me along to the filling station, we waited in line (not too long actually) to fill our family car from 3/4's full to a FULL tank. Dad always wanted to be prepared.

BTW, both my Mom & Dad walked to work so in reality back then the only time we really needed the family car was on weekly shopping trips to the Grocery store and farmers market back in Quakertown PA. Heck we could have stretched 3/4's of a tank into a couple months if need be.....

Now that I live in Atlanta, I do the daily commute of about 17 miles! UGGGGHH, thanks for pointing out I've regressed........should have listened to Dad and PLANNED to LIVE within walking distance of work like he did.

Cheers!
