Who put the gasoline? ine in Summer, typically a time of enjoy- ment for students, turned into a time of frustration too, as gas lines formed in ever increasing lengths. As the summer wore on, econo- mists and energy specialists pre- dicted that gasoline prices would hit the $1 mark before the end of the season. As prices soared and gas tanks ran dry, a number of restrictions were placed on consumers in an effort to alleviate the effects of the energy pinch. Gov. William Clements insti- gated an odd-even system for pur- chasing the precious fuel, using license plate numbers to determine who could purchase fuel on what day. Holidays and the thirty-first day of the months were a free-for-all. Also a $6 minimum purchase was placed on all motorists. Though prices remained high, in some places as high as $1.05 per gal- lon, lines dwindled because of the restrictions. The odd-even plan was abandoned in September, nearly 30 days before its originally scheduled demise, and the $6 minimum pur- chase limit was lifted Sept. 30. The final vestige, an empty pocketbook, was the lasting reminder of the frus- trating weeks.
