Most of the lines for gas in 73-74 were not caused by a shortage but from people panicking and thinking there was. I lived in a small town in central Michigan at that time, never had to wait in line for gas or had a gas station that was out.

But I remember watching the news at night and seeing the people in the cities waiting in long lines for gas. The hysteria some of these Y2K nuts will cause could lead us into a similar situation.
