Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

Heh Heh - judging by the price Mike ... then yes. I have seen a few "hand" pumps over here though they are very few and far between.

Yep I remember. This made me think of the old traffic lights, the ones with the clock face and the arrow that span around!

I'm guessing late 60's, early 70's for sure before 72 when the arabs put the screws to us big time. A fine looking image and pump!

Marvelous shot of this old pump, it's a pity gas has gotten so high and seems to burn up faster too, lol....:)))

Everywhere, that price has increased :(

Mike, this is another cool capture for sure. There was the Father of a friend of mine who had some similar to this one a while back that he had bought.

So on average gas prices are now US $5? Forty-nine cents seems impossible even for that long back compared to now. Where's the tipping point? $6? $8? Quite a thought-provoking image, Mike.

after high school I worked a short time in a gas station(1962) and the gas was in the teens for price. even in 1970 I bought gas in Texas for 20 cents. I then worked in California at a gas station and the gas was below the 49 cents

a loooong time ago. thanks for the memories.

When I started to drive - gas was 29 cents a gallon and unfiltered Raleigh's cigarettes were the same 29 cents a pack price! Those were the days!
