It also started government rationing. Odd and even days. Lockable gas caps.

The end of oil fired power plants. The end of oil furnaces.

It was also the end of the beginning of OPEC.

Never let a crisis go to waste and if you don’t have one, create one.

Oh ... I remember the days. We had “odd and even” days in Oregon. I used to drive up to Anacortes, Washington fairly regularly from Portland. Prior to the embargo, I could always get gas, even overnight, when driving up there, But not when the embargo hit. There were literally no stations open overnight. So, I carried about three five gallon cans of gas with me, so I wouldn’t be stranded ... :-) ...
