Just go to the auto parts store and buy yourself a valve stem tap and die puller kind of thing... These things have been around for years. It will screw on a valve stem on the outside or go down on the inside and clean the threads plus take out an old core or put in a new one. Tire repair places have them that they use if you want to just look at one... I have a couple of them that I had when I owned a gas station in the early 70's....deadeye

As a prior service station owner, can you tell us what the markup was on gas when regular was selling for 32.9 a gallon and if the markup is the same today at $2.329. Or in California at 2.539? Or in some places in the state, $3.199?

The profit margin for me was .07 cents a gallon in the early 70's when gas was .27.9 reg. or 33.9 for ethyl or premium grade. It was higher for me as I owned the buildings. It would have been less if an oil company owned them. I also seen gas wars back then where gas would be around .19 to .22 cents a gallon in larger cities. REAL MONEY MAKERS---UH----deadeye

You're dating yourself dude.

I grew up in Houston, Tx. and we had rumors from time to time of .199 caused by a gas war somewhere in the local area. Can remember driving all over to find "the deal".....burning up lots of the .259 gas I had bought at 50 cents a throw.

In those days, when I worked for an Humble (Oil and Refining Co, Baytown, Tx.) Dealer, he made his money under the wax canopy.

Had the Taylor Way cleaner and Onthanks Caranauba Wax system with electric polishers. Boy that brings back memories.

Will have to tell you about the customer I went to get (when his truck was ready) on a 3 wheel Harley. Sat him on the box behind me. I thought it was neat. Boss like to fired me over it. Couldn't believe his eyes when he saw me pulling back into the lot.

Dang another memory trip. I started at a Fina gas station when fuel was .20gal.

The owner and I would see how many cute girls we could find in a day the brag about them to one another, so one day this chick comes in hot pants on the self serve island, bent over and gave me a great show of her long slim legs.

Well Jim came in and boy did he get a ear full of the hot pants honey. We kept talking about her for a hour or so with Jim pumping me for all kinds of info, what color were the hot pants... what kind of car... What color was her hair... and a few more things I won't mention... then he got on the phone and asked his wife to come see him and be sure and wear the same outfit she did that morning. Yep it was Jim's wife!!! WE didn't play that game again! They thought it was very funny, but I sure didn't!

A great place to work tho as thats where I met my wife :-)
