I was in my 30s in the very serious gas crises of the early 70s and for the most part the price is not the biggest issue, the availability of gas is. All sorts of games were played back then and for a fact it made life miserable. Odd even days of being allowed to get gas, odd even license plates, lines a 1/2 mile long to get to the pumps, serious profit taking by many oil companies and station owners. Cars running out of gas while waiting in line! Fights (today shootings) and serious problems at the pumps by people trying to sneak in lines, other stuff.
I will gladly pay $10 a gallon if I do not have to put up with the availability problems like they sicked on us years back. You younger people if you have not experienced what I wrote above you do not have a clue of what can AND WILL happen! With the people of today it will be bad!
