And speakin of gas prices, back in the 70's when I worked for a couple
service stations regular was in the high $.20 range. Then the oil crises hit
and prices jumped to $.50 to $.55 per gallon over night and we limited sales
to 5 gallons per vehicle. And customers were outraged by the cost of fuel,
and this was also at a time that some drivers were just startin to think
about fuel economy.
Funny, in my town here in Taxachusetts I'm paying $3.43 a gallon but the
towns next over its almost as much as $.40 MORE ??? Can't figure that one
out.
Again my 2 cents,
Bob T

With all the discussion of gas stations, please take a look at our ebsite -
www.tsimportedautomotive.com. Click the link under the picture n home page
that takes you to a history of our building. I am one of ghe lucky ones.
This was started by my family in 1913 and we sold Pure il. I have pumped
gas at 21.9 and that is what the price my Tokheim 9A Tallboy pump is
showing. Enjoy. Ted
