I remember it as more of a 74-75 thing because I had just got married and traded my two Baracudas for a Hemi Road runner just before the fake crisis at least in our area. My brother was still in the Phoenix area going through the even odd gas rationing but up in Cheyenne where I had moved to prices went up but we were awash in gas. If there was an old unused gas station the tanks were filled and full tankers parked around town and the refinery in town was shut down because there was no place to hide it.
I was in the Silicon valley during both. I had a good friend that worked at the SP pipeline where all of the fuel came in to the area. During BOTH periods their tanks which normally were under 1/2 capacity were filled to the brim. He also said they were directed to starve the independently owned stations forcing more than one to close permanently
