Gasoline allocation: a chaotic program in need of overhaul
The 1979 gasoline shortage was another reminder of the continued US dependence on foreign oil supplies and the ever-present threat of supply disruptions. It also underscored our lack of preparedness to minimize the impact of such disruptions. This report examines why the Department of Energy's allocation program was ineffective in managing the shortage and makes recommendations for improving the program.
