i remember 1973 i was running a light products terminal in rhode island. and we didn't have gasoline. all stations were on allocation and the senator from r.i. called me told me to deliver gas to a distributor who was out or he would get me fired.. i never delivered and never heard from him again.

i remember seeing the local tv news people at the loading rack one morning and couldn't figure how they got into the place. we do have a guard station as we were in the middle of a refinery ,(asphalt). The tank farm had huge storage for gasoline heating oil etc. the local station was saying the same thing as your vp for esso that their were numbers of tankers sinking in the harbor waiting to unload.. I told him it was a false statement and he could verify it by taking a copter out a few miles and perhaps film these tankers. than night on local news everything i said was cut and only his inflamed comments was mentioned. off camera i told him his statements are false.. he said i know but it will make news. ????

From my experience during that gas crisis it was not the best of times to attend neighborhood functions workings for an oil company. Perhaps all those tankers were in EU. oh, we never delivered to close stations..Hell we couldn't get gas to open stations fast enough.
