My grandparents were farmers. As in, grew up on a farm farming grapes. In the 1920s or whatever.
They said when they were kids they had gas pumps on their property because:
- The nearest gas station was too far away.
- They need it for filling up tractors so they could do agriculture.
Then they BOTH told me their parents would hide the gas pump handles from them because otherwise they would fill up the tractors and go joy riding.
KIDS playing with TRACTORS and GASOLINE for FUN!
