1973 was undeniably the worst year in nearly a century of American cars. Why were Americans so scared of running out of gas they were brawling at the pumps? How and why did American manufacturers make undeniably inferior cars for over a decade- and how did they dig themselves out of a mess that was largely of their own creation? Today on Past Gas we’re diving into the dark history of the Malaise Era … buckle up, or don’t, we won’t be going that fast.

Great podcast as always but you guys could really use some pictures for the KZfaq version.

This used to be another full show, then viewership tanked and since then the effort they put in has been slowly decreasing. Just look at the thumbnails the last few weeks, literally zero effort.

@@siggy6044 damn. They're not even getting a fraction of what they used to get, I'm sure it's because of the lack of effort on their part because a few times every episode Im left wondering what they were talking about because of their lack of pictures.

Donut, why don't you listen to your fans and BRING BACK THE FRICKEN FACECAMS! But seriously, I think the podcasts are great and nice to listen to when you're cruising around whether it's in real life or a video game. I like to listen to Past Gas while playing BeamNG.Drive.

I had a used '73 Grand Prix SJ. It was a boat, and had a 400 w/a 4 barrel. It wasn't bad as far as speed goes. It had a moon roof. It had the turning radius of a 747. I loved that tank.

You definitely have to remember that back in the day the power figures were underrated to keep insurance prices lower not to mention all of those cars just needed an intake swap and they were generating high horsepower and massive amounts of torque. It’s funny how much you guys hate on the old school cars but I still love this podcast

There's a lot more separating a 180HP 8L engine from being efficient than an intake

Porsche 914 and the Nissan z were a thing, Alfa was selling cars in America in the 70s. Lil red express might have been worth mentioning. It wasn’t all malaise.

I'm surprised gas was ONLY restricted on Sundays, I thought I heard something about getting designated gas days based on your license plate number. Was that just the second gas crisis?

As a Malaise Era lover, I’m coming into this very skeptical as most “Malaisians” consider 1974 the worst year for cars as all of the good leftovers from the early 70s before the oil crisis were gone by ‘74 & the Mustang went into its infamous 2nd generation. Interested to see how you guys argue for ‘73.
