that was supposedly a rumor around the dc baltimore metro area. everyone start panicking and lining up at the gas stations before 6pm.

Yes, it's true. During the gas shortages of the 1970's, you were allowed to fill up gas only on certain days based under which category you fell. I'm not exactly sure of the details, but you were given a letter, A or B, based on your license plate, and A could fill up on the days that B couldn't, and vice versa.
