There was certainly an oil embargo that hurt during the Nixon administration. The one I was referring to and remember better was in 1979, part of the whole Iranian mess. I believe they released the hostages as Reagan was inaugurated.
I'm sure a lot of it had to do with my youth and a certain naiveness, but the Reagan years were a great time to be an American.
