Martin Way Shell

This was conveniently located near our motel, and although it wasn’t the nicest Shell station I’ve ever been too, it certainly served its purpose.
They have large tanks under ground that are filled with three different kinds of gasoline. An electric pump on top allows you to dispense as much of each as you’d like into your car, without the bother of messy buckets or jerry cans.
Do you know why they call them «jerry cans?» Because they were invented by the jerries, e.g. the Germans, back in the 1930’s. That’s right. It’s Nazi-​technology adapted for peaceful use. Anyway…
If you’re lucky, the guy before you may have filled up with the high priced stuff, and you might get a little of that in your tank. Man, you’re livin’ now!
