At some point in 1973 the local Los Angeles television station KTLA (channel 5) sent a camera crew out to gather footage for a now forgotten news segment on gas prices. The crew returned with the above four plus minutes of dailies. Was it ever turned into an actual segment? Who knows? But the dailies somehow exist and make for mesmerizingly weird viewing. Watch period automobiles pull into gas stations, drivers open gas tanks and insert pumps, close-ups of gas prices and fuel gauges, various establishing shots of different gas stations and nice long-lens views of traffic. There’s no real order or meaning to any of this. There’s not even any music to hold it together. Somehow this makes it even more hypnotic.
