To the reverse, according to my wife (she would have been 9-10 years old), back in the '73-74 fuel crisis, she was traveling with her family and there was no gasoline to be found. They had, I believe, a Dodge Van, probably a 3/4 or 1 ton based on my knowledge of her history, no idea what engine was in it. Her father, after much talk, finally convinced a station to put X gallons of Diesel in the tank, and it got them to the next station that had gasoline. It was later reported on CNN that there was an unexplained dearth of mosquitos in that part of the country.
