Suspect
loses his mind after buying gas at a former Sunoco gas station on YouTube
Remember when there used to almost be a gas station on every corner? And remember when gas was under 40 cents a gallon?
This is a photo of a Sunoco gas station taken by one of friends mothers from the south side of Oxford East, looking toward hus grandfather's Sutter's Sunoco gas station at 944 Oxford St. East. The car parked in the picture was their family car.
The photo was taken sometime in the 1950's, likely the latter part of that decade. Gas was 37.9 cents a GALLON! They owned the station from 1952-1970, when my elderly friends father retired at age 71.
Gas stations were plentiful in that area, according to my friend .
a White Rose, gas station at the corner of Stuart and Oxford, a Fina corner station at Oxford and Boullee, my friends grandfather's corner station of Oxford and Barker and an Esso station at the corner of Oxford and Sterling.
My elderly friend says he has super terrific
Great memories from those days hanging around his gas station as a child!
