Remember the oil crisis that began in March 1973. Gas rationing - TopicsExpress



          

Remember the oil crisis that began in March 1973. Gas rationing led to incidents of violence, after truck drivers nationwide chose to strike for two days in December 1973 because they objected to the supplies the government had rationed for their industry. In Pennsylvania and Ohio, non-striking truckers were shot at by striking truckers, and in Arkansas, trucks of non-strikers were attacked with bombs. Do I need to mention that the average of all American cars in the 1970s was 13 miles per gallon?
