What happened to gasoline in the mid 1970s?

Crapped if I know. All I do know is, he asked who my Uncle is. I showed him. He started runnin him down. If that's why he asked, that makes him a big asshole, IMO. I just wanted to get that in before this gets flushed to N&P.
You did the best you could. I get it when some guy on a car forum posts his uncle is a world wide known economist someone is going to doubt it. But after you posted the links and showed he wasn't some guy selling Cheerios as donut seeds, that should have been the end of it.
And yes if the mods flush this over to the N&P I will be pissed.
