   Bob Collinge, an economics professor at UTSA and former economist with the American Petroleum Institute in Washington, said government price controls left energy companies with little incentive to meet the public's demand for gasoline.
   
   As gas prices rose, U.S. consumers took a huge financial blow.
   
   that be why people started driving these econo-boxes (small cars) and building energy-efficient homes, he said. The energy crisis also spurred a heck of a lot of exploration for alternative fuels and energy sources, he added.
   
   The drama played out every day at gas stations.
   
   Some stations limited customers to one fill-up per week. Others used an odd-even system, based on one's license-plate number, to distribute gas. Some eventually put up signs saying, Sorry, No Gas Today..
   
   ...
   If another oil crisis occurs, the first sign will be fewer large vehicles on the road, Collinge predicted.
   
   If the price of oil gets very high, people will move away from SUVs. they will leave them at home, and drive the smaller sedans, he said.
