You may be too young to remember the 70s when guys would spritz a
little gasoline behind their ear in hopes a girl would think you
worked in a gas station.

Good grief... did any of them live?

Gee whiz ... nothing? not even a mercy LOL?
You must be too young to remember gas lines. ;-)- Hide quoted text -

I remember them. Wait in lne for a hour so you could get $5.00 of gas
and that was the limit. And if you were lucky you could get gas before
the station ran out. It was rationed to them too!

I am sure Plume would be flirting with the gas station guy to try to
get an extra few gallons.
I do remember parking in the gas station in the middle of the night so
I would be there when they opened. I also had a odd/even permit so I
could get gas on either day.


I owned a company with delivery trucks and we were exempt. Commercial
plates were exempt from the odd even. Was nice my pickup was exempt and
there was a station near my house that was sort of out of the way and wife
could normally fill up without a wait. The delivery trucks fueled at a
Cardlock station, so we could fill the family vehicles also 24/7. Biggest
problem was we had to get the drivers to put in a little more than they need
for the route, as we had lots of people deciding to climb the fence and
siphon gas. And steal batteries. Later we went to diesel delivery trucks,
which would have cut down on the theft.
