In 73 here in England you had trouble getting petrol, (gas) some petrol stations would only let you have a gallon or 2, we'd go from station to station but they'd check your
fuel gauge, I disconnected mine & had a full tank... Can't remember a problem in 79 but our North Sea oil was coming on line then & we then became self sufficient in oil... We had a fuel shortage in 2000 as the oil refineries were blockaded by truck drivers unhappy about diesel tax & chaos ensured for a few days. I live near the M1 motorway (high speed highway) & can always hear the background hum of traffic. That week in 2000 I couldn't sleep as it was too quiet as the M1 was empty...
