The gas crisis in the 70's had nothing to do with the horsepower wars, they were over in 71. It's a supply and demand issue and gas guzzling vehicles with 25-40 gallon tanks(SUV's) don't help. My 88 4Runner has a 16 gallon tank and has been getting 20 mpg so that's pretty darn good for 88 technology. There's gonna be a lot of full size SUV's and pickups for sale real soon. The real problem arises if they have to go to rationing where you can only get gas certain days of the week and you're forced to sit in line.
