When my dad was growing up in SE Massachusetts in the '30s, they lived behind his stepdad's gas station on rt 6. They sold something like 8 brands of gasoline. Flying A, Mobilgas etc and the loyal customers would swear by their particular favorite brand of gas... "ol Bessie won't even climb a hill on the cheapass stuff you're filling up on". Well, years later Dad told me they only had One underground tank and it was re-filled at night by a flat black painted fuel truck...
