Lovely and simple.

1974: We've used up all the world's oil. There will never be any more. 1986: Holy smokes there is so much oil, we have to sell it at the same price as 10 years ago. Never believe the doom and gloom industry.

In 1975 the catalytic converter came out

801 gallons, in case you missed it.

They just sold you the car without 4 cylinders that's how you waste less a gas on a '75 chevelle

[@johnhall8364]

Yup, 11mpg instead of 9

[@chrislemaster2695]

11 mpg down hill with a wind maybe and on 93 octane

@@chrislemaster2695 --all '75 and later models of cars in the US had to run on 87 octane Unleaded fuel. Any premium still on the market was for the older cars that still needed it. The last time I saw premium leaded fuel was in the early-to-mid 80s.
