Rufus, I'm 49 and I remember as a kid waiting in long lines for my parents to get their gas ration. Wonder if the statistics on thatepisode show that it actually conserved gas or not? Course now we have so many more people driving and so many more cars that I guess comparing woulnd't matter. I do hope we don't come to that again but alternative fuel sources would sure help us out alot and free us from so much dependence on the middle east...
