"Nix-On Sunday Gas" at a Texaco Service Station in Detroit, December 1973
Add to SetSummary
When an oil embargo disrupted imports of foreign petroleum to the United States in 1973, President Richard Nixon asked gasoline retailers to ration supplies by not selling gas on Sundays. Most service stations complied with the voluntary request -- though this Texaco station in Detroit made a presidential pun of the "nix on" Sunday sales.
