It was different all over because gas distribution is uneven and pricing is not unform. So some cities and towns had major disruptions and others had only minor inconveniances. Municipalities and metro areas all set there own rules. I remember the summer of '73 as the most troublesome time, but where I was living, we didn't have too many problems - prices spiked, and all filling stations weren't open regular hours, but we weren't limited to certain days.

All I remember is that you got in line at the gas station and wait to get a few gallons of gas. Sometimes it would be an hour wait.

Cars with even # license plates got gas on even days, Odd # on odd days. I had a moped without a license and couldn't buy gas. Go figure.

Where I was lliving at the time, they went by the last digit on your license plate number. If it was an odd number, you could only buy gas on dates with an odd number.

We did it by month of registration.
Even on even, odd on odd.
If you needed gas on the 3rd, and your registration/inspection was in May, you were stuck.
