The 70's Gas Crisis? I Don't Remember That

Long lines at gas stations! Overly inflated prices! Rationing! Police directing traffic! Dozens of stations without gas! Canceling weekend plans to save gas to get to work! I'm not actually talking about the 70's. I'm talking about this week in the Charlotte region.

We've got a quarter tank in both vehicles now, which theoretically gets Slick to work all next week. So, we're conserving and hoping to catch a break. Stations have lines with cops. You can't pump more than 10 gallons & by the afternoon all the pumps are covered and empty.

You don't remember it because you weren't even one-year-old yet.

It's all because of Hurricane Ike, right? Which just goes to show that it is the gasoline production that is the problem...not the drilling of oil.
