I don't remember them in 54 but I started pumping gas in 56 and there was one 
that came in regularly. Chrysler was paying for the fuel so this guy used 
some fairly exotic stuff from time to time. The guy came in one time with 
several cases of booze and I poured that stuff into the tank. First time I 
ever smelled Bacardi's 151 burn.
