I think the early 70s affected gas lines in very large cities. In Huntsville, AL there was few if any lines then. Though in the late 70's there were lines there, Atlanta, Washington, Baltimore, Hagerstown MD, and even at my grandparents home in Opp Al. Places I managed to vist during that time.

The most annoying thing about gas in the 1970s was when they outlawed selling gasoline on Sundays. In Texas that meant you couldn't even drive to the next city on the weekend. (I think it was part of the even-odd which covered the other 6 days of the week). After a while I had Gerry-cans strapped to the car any time I went out of town. I'm just glad I wasn't in an accident.
