[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3795030, member: 27284"] I just had my drivers license in 1973 when the Arab fuel embargo hit us. Oil Barrel quadrupled in price. Quadrupled in price. There was a lot of gas theft. Few I knew had a garage to park in. People would laugh at the joke “Okie Gas Card” which was a siphon hose and empty cas can. You’d go out to get in your vehicle and your gas was gone, siphoned out. It sucked, it hurt, it was inconvenient. Then the government implemented mandatory odd/even gas rationing. If you had to go some where It might take twice as long and involve motels or sleeping in the car. You don’t want that crap today. You can’t use a siphon hose on todays vehicles. So the bastard gas thieves drill a hole in your tank to steal gas. That really sucks because you have to buy a new fuel tank, I don’t know if anyone will fix a gas tank. **** FJB! FBO! [/QUOTE]
