I remember that, I was trying to buy gas for a new vehicle that I had just purchased and the gas tank was almost empty by the time I got home from where the dealer was.

My plate was even on an odd day, and I asked the gas station owner if I could fill up a gas can and he wouldn't do it.

I felt like I was trying to buy drugs from a drug dealer, now that the price is sky high you can buy all the gas you want.

This was in 1979, I will never forget that, if he sold me the gas I probably would have gotten a beat down by the people waiting on line, that's why the gas station owner wouldn't sell me any gas, he was afraid to do it.
