I remember early tp mid 70's, rationing by Plate Numbers on the vehicle, each number had a day of the week they were suppose to get gas; if you tried to get gas on another day the Manager was suppose to stop you... but that's where I said it didn't matter, usually the Manager gave the gas as needed.
Just the idea of asking the Manager of the Station for Gas slowed down the use some.
I don't even remember a late 70's price increase, I do remember a price increase but I thought it was lates than that... interesting, something new to look up !
I remember the Plate Rationing well, I was out of the Army, driving to the school of higher learning everyday, had to ask many a manager for extra gas !
