High-octane kerosene?

Maybe she had to tone it down for her tiara to fit right, but I can't give her beehive more than a 6.

It lacks...altitude.

She needed to be able to fit it under the lift.

Former gas station, about 1.5 miles from our house. Now occupied by Tony's Muffler. According to the sign out front, they also make trailer hitches.

What's the deal with gas stations and airplanes anyway?

Portland, Maine -- May 1942. Gasoline rationing was introduced, on the East Coast only, on May 15th -- using a simple system of punch-cards classified by ration category, with each punch assigned a specific unit of gasoline. Here a motorist gets his A-card punched for his weekly three-gallon allotment.

The allotments changed over the course of the summer, based on supply and demand. When the ration program switched to a "mileage rationing" system as rationing rolled out nationwide after December 1, 1942, the ration program abandoned easily-counterfeited punch cards in favor of stamps.

^^^^^ Cool tugboat station! I had the same '57 Cadillac as a daily driver at one time.
