I see you are a brainless fuck with nothing to add. Noted.
LOL!! I just pwned you, asshole. You posted you remembered something that can't possibly be true.
Bet you remember when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor too.

Like I said. I remember it. Apparently you don't remember but in New York City it was a fact.
You just got owned you arrogant fuck.
Oh I remember Carter very well. You keep pretending you are the only person who remembers. I remember the fuel ration stamps, the high interest rates, and the terrible condition of our military like it was yesterday.
In New York City, the "gas rationing" during the 1970s crisis was by
license plate number (odds one day, evens the next), not "fuel ration stamps".
The federal government
did print "fuel ration stamps", for the proposed federal fuel rationing that never passed, but they were never used. They were destroyed in 1984.
Rationing Coupons Shredded
So many libs have no brains. So not only did the rationing stamps get printed and posted in the newspapers and rationing did occur but somehow I am wrong for saying that I remember the fuel rationing stamps. They were posted in every paper. They were a big deal. We hadn't had gas rationing since WWII. The government cancelled the stamps because it would require additional fuel on the part of the post office just to distribute them. Odd-even was the substitute solution.
What part of I remember gas rationing stamps related to the Carter Administration is a problem for you dumb fucking liberals. They were the original plan.
You asshats are too young or too dumb to remember but that it not my fault.
What part of:
The Energy Department is shredding 4.8 billion gasoline rationing coupons that were printed but never used in the Arab oil embargo a decade ago, a Government spokesman said today.
…do you not understand.
The capacity of most on the right to continue lying – even when confronted with the truth – is truly remarkable.
You libs are some real asshats to pretend that these things were not a big deal. Carter screwed over the Shaw and the first thing that the Revolutionary Government of Iran did is mess with OPEC production.
The result was a scare that hit the public and the first big part of this was these ration coupons for not only gasoline but for heating oil which caused a panic in our country.
You fools are either too political or too young to remember this. But keep up your bullshit because you only prove how much of a political hack you are to deny this event and downplay the significance of the mistakes that Carter made and their long term effect on our country and the world. We are still paying for his mistakes today.

WASHINGTON-Thc Energy Depart- mest made public Tuesday three man- cenergy-saving plans and an emergency gasoline rationing plan Pres- ident Carter is asking Congress to ap- prove.
The contingency plan to ration gaso- line as a last resort in a critical oil shortage did not specify a motor-fuel allotment.
An Energy Department spokesman de- nied a report that the limit would be 14 gallons a week for passenger cars.
When the orignal draft of the coupon plan was made public last summer, En- ergy Secretary James Schlesinger esti mated that a typical passenger car would be allowed as much as 14 gallons a week, down to 5 gallons or even less, depending upon the severity and dura- tion of the emergency.
THE GOVERNMENT-dictated energy conservation measures would close gaso- line stations on weekends, require own- ers of most nonresidential buildings to cut down heating and air-conditioning, and prohibit illuminated advertising signs and window displays.
The Energy Department disclosed the basic features of its gasoline rationing plan last June and has been under pres- sure from Congress since the Iranian oil cutoff two months ago to submit the plan and other mandatory measures for use in an emergency. The President will the ration plan and the other three plans to Congress on Thursday for ap- proval as required by the 1975 energy law.
President Carter said at a press con- Tuesday he hopes he does not have to impose gasoline rationing or introduce the mandatory en: :gy con- servation measures.
Carter, referring to increases in oil prices and the loss of Iranian oil said, "Inflationary pressures [on the U.S. do exceed what wce expected." Ile described the oil price and supply situation as "serious but not critical."
'IIIE GASOLINE rationing plan would allow the Energy Department to mail ration checks redeemable for coupons to each of the nation s 120 million motor vehicle owners.
The Energy Depariment would calcu- late r:;tion based upon annual average fuel consumption for each class of. . ah passenger cars would re- ceive the same allotment, regardless of fuel efficiency.
Priority rations would be given for essential public services such as police and fire protection and ambulances.
Farmers would receive extra gasoline for machinery.
The ration checks issued by the Ener- gy Department would be cashed for cou- pons at banks and savings and loan in- stitutions. Motorists would present the coupons at filling stations to buy gaso- line, which would be under price con- trol. -
A MAJOR feature of the plan, how- ever, would be the "white market" for buying and selling coupons.
Car owners would be free to trade their coupons, give them away, or sell them to others, at any price.
The United States last rationed gaso- line in the early 1940s during World War I. During the 1973-74 Arab oil embargo, the government prepared for rationing to the extent of printing 5 billion cou- pons, a three-month supply.
The weekend gasoline restriction, made public Tuesday, is aimed at cut- ting down nonessential driving by pro- the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel during specified hours-at the maxi- mum. from Friday noon to Sunday mid- night.
