Have you ever looked back at the change in power numbers from 71-72 to 73 when the emissions standards kicked in? HOLY HELL the power went to shit. I remember reading that a big block 454 produced less power than most modern 4 cylinders.
I was born in '71, but spent a lot of time reading Road & Track issues from the late 60's/early-mid 70's at my grandma's house. Lots of doom & gloom in the automotive world when all the new emissions regs and the gas crisis collided.

It's not a surprise that, even when it ended, the oil companies kept the prices high to make even more profit and, even now, try to gain sympathy from the public when their profits are down.

As far as the electric car goes, take a look at this.
