Motorists Survive Second Sunday Gasoline Closings
American motorists endured a second Sunday of gas station closings with most people filling up beforehand or avoiding highways. An AP survey shows 80 to 90 percent of about 220 000 stations were closed, matching last week. President Nixon urged a voluntary ban on Sunday Baseline sales until legislation allows a mandatory ban. Border checks found few motorists crossing into Canada or Mexico for gas as Mexico's high‑test price doubled to 64 cents. Bad weather hindered travel in much of the nation.
