Taken with 24 - 105mm lens with IS activated. Settings f22, 1/160, ISO 200. I believe these are the original pumps that was at this station when I was growing up (and the price is still set at 31 9/10's a gallon)! I am getting old! <><

What a blast from the past Shirley! I rembere these pumps, when I first started driving petrol was 25¢ a gallon here. #1672153

Thank you, Teresa. I think I remember the prices actually being around 19 cents, but since I was a kid, and I didn't realize how the price was affecting us, I could be wrong. I am sure my dad complained to as the prices kept rising. <>< #11531457

Thank you, Chuck. Wow, I don't remember it quite that low. Price wars, huh? I didn't realize they had them until later years. I thought B&W was more suited for the era. Again, thanks, I love hearing from all of you. <>< #11531852

Thank you, Nancy. I guess where I lived there weren't enough gas stations to have a "war"! We were blessed to live in the time that we did. <>< #11532236

Thank you, Micky. I think I remember it being 20 cents, but I am not positive, since I was too young to be buying gas. <>< #11532603
