Title: great old gas station Post by: mrsoda on July 03, 2009, 12:15:33 pm I was driving in a small town in new hampshire and saw this old gas station, The pumps do not run any more, but the station is open and working for repairs, you just dont see stuff like this anymore, he keeps the station very nice and clean

I can understand as usually our drives are 6-8 hours (with kids) and stopping every so often lengthens the trip considerably.
I am not too knowledgable of pumps, but am on the price of gas. Gas under $1.00 is nonexistant, but can't the output volume of these old pumps be modified to pump 1/4 or 1/3 of a gallon for a cent price that equates to the current gas price. Would the State regulators allow such a thing? Would the wait time for the pump to fill up the tank turn people away? Allows people more time to impulse shop! :smile: Title: Re: great old gas station Post by: MoonDawg on July 03, 2009, 02:20:58 pm That is a great way to get his business noticed, sets him apart from other
auto repair shops. Title: Re: great old gas station Post by: Funtronics on July 03, 2009, 02:27:33 pm Very neat station. I bet he gets a lot of lookers. I think that if someone would set up an old station like that, and have a person that pumps your gas and washes your windows would go over big time. I know I would stop there.
