I think then petrol was 44p a gallon(?). I wish I'd kept those ration tickets! Anyone else remember this and have more details? The government obviously felt we were close to the precipice then.</p> I can’t be the only person who remembers the oil crisis of 1973 (I was working on a farm in Lincolnshire at the time) and being issued with petrol rationing vouchers – which in the end we never used.

Wondering if this current crisis will have a similar result as the former. Do you think we will really see a flourishing of creativity? I just hope people stop driving their giant F150s to the mall and back.</p> Excellent review, I wish I could have seen the exhibit – sounds like it would have been very informative.
