Thanks for the link Tom. Great photos. Did you notice #15, Corn Alcohol Blend, "Development Means Cornbelt Prosperity". Looks to be about 1930.

The first photo is an old station in Portland, Oregon. I remember seeing it as a kid. Googled it and it's still there although not as a fuel stop.

25.9 cents a gallon and you get a free pepsi and a hot dog with a fill up!

Thanks for the link Tom. Scary part is that I remember when gas stations were like that .

As for the corn ethanol thing, it has been around since the beginning, especially in the "corn belt". It's just that now, its use is being legislated.

Seems like gas stations were a very friendly and pleasant place to visit in those times.

The world was a much friendlier place back then.All we feared was the USSR and they feared us.
People had manners and knew the real meaning of respect.Families ate together and tv had 3
channels and the news was on once a day.Going to stop now,getting depressed!

"Why thank you, Eddie."
