As gas around here in northeast Illinois slowly falls below $3 a gallon, there was an Old Picture of the Day web site photo on June 1, 2015, of a gas station sign from some years back.
The gas price was broken down:
Gasoline-- 5 cents
State-- 5 cents
Uncle Sam-- 1 cent
City-- 1 cent
R.R.-- 2 1/4 cents (Not sure exactly what this meant. Railroad?)
Agent-- 1 1/4 cents
Me-- 4 cents
Total-- 20 1/2 cents.
There was a cooment that said that today, Me gets about 2 cents a gallon.
But, I Could Live With That Gas Price. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
