Could the U.S.see a return to the odd/even system to but gas?

Though it was way before my time,Ive read that in the 1970s',there was a gasoline shortage crisis under then -President Jimmy Carter.The crisis became so serious that they apparently assigned "odd/even"days where citizens could only purchase gas on the pre-assigned days.Also,I was told that there were lines at gas stations that stretched for several blocks!With the current shortage going on now,is there a possibility that they might return to that practice?

In Europe in the 1970s we had 3 or 4 day weeks to reduce demand for scarce resources. The EU has asked people who can to work from home for one day a week to reduce petrol consumption.
