Gasoline prices spiked during the 1970s and early 1980s primarily due to the 1973 oil crisis, when OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) imposed an oil embargo in response to Western support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. This led to significant supply shortages and skyrocketing prices. Additionally, the Iranian Revolution in 1979 further disrupted oil production, exacerbating the crisis and causing prices to soar. These events highlighted the vulnerability of global oil supplies and led to long-term changes in energy policy and consumption patterns.

Not really. Spike discovers his love for Buffy fairly early on, and when Buffy finds out, she is extremely sure she could never love him. However as the show progresses her love for him becomes more apparent, and just before Spike sadly dies, she tells him she loves him but Spike says "No, you don't; but thanks for saying it." Not quite. I mean they were kinda together during Season 6( the violent, sexual way) and sort of in S7 but never were "truly dating".
