No.I'm sure it was around 74,you could only get $2 worth of gas every other day by the last digit on your plate...I was driving a Chevy Vega (Yea,I know Yuck!!) that I bought from my mom.The engine blew up in that car in the summer of 77. by the 80's I was living in Austin and gas was flowing freely again,alltho it was 1.25-1.30 a gallon
