Cool collection of gas pumps. The old ones are getting pretty desirable for collectors to restore. My neighbor has two old pumps he wants to restore...

I clearly remember .99 and it wasn't all that long ago when ya' think about it. It was before 9/11. The stuff in this picture looks like American Pickers wet dream. I don't even know if that show is on anymore. The History Channel went to hell, in my opinion. Very cool picture, buddy.

Prices were about .31 cents per gal of regular at the time I could drive. Stamps were about .04 cents.. We never had those plastic gas credit cards before. Interesting post. Aloha
