Ronald Regan was originally a Democrat, supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal. He gradually became a staunch social and fiscal conservative, and, in 1976, said "fascism was really the basis of the New Deal." He embarked upon the path that led him to a career in politics during his tenure as president of the Screen Actors Guild. In this position, he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee on Communist influence in Hollywood. He also kept tabs on actors he considered disloyal and informed on them to the FBI unde ...

In 1966, he was elected the 33rd Governor of California, defeating two-term incumbent Pat Brown; he was reelected in 1970, defeating Jesse Unruh, but chose not to seek a third term. In his first term, he froze government hiring, but also approved tax hikes to balance the budget. During the People's Park protests in 1969, he sent 2,200 National Guard troops onto the Berkeley campus of the University of California. Reagan made it clear that the policies of his administration would not be influenced by student agitation, saying "If it takes a b ...

King's horror novels often reflect and are constructed upon a consistent view of the world, which is most clearly described in Insomnia and The Dark Tower. In this view, he describes existence as being metaphorically like a dark tower, set in a huge landscape of red flowers. In this tower are many levels, with entities on each level. Some are hostile, some benevolent. Human life and all that people are aware of, lives on the equiva ...

Filling station - Gas station maps. U.S.A. gas stations previously offered free road maps as a strategy to build brand loyalty, but the oil companies stopped distributing free maps in the 1970s.

It is forbidden to use open flame and, in some places, a mobile phone on the forecourt of a gas station. This is because of the risk of igniting gasoline vapour. The safety issue with mobile phones, however, is disputed. While mobile phones can distract people and increase the chance of an accident occurring, there is no significant danger from the radio waves emitted. In fact, many petrol statio ...

In Europe, the customer selects one of several color coded nozzles depending on the type of fuel required. The filler pipe of unleaded fuel is smaller than the one for leaded (substitute) ones. The tank filler opening has a corresponding diameter. This is to prevent filling the tank with the wrong fuel. Leaded fuel damages the catalytic converter. In some European countries, leaded fuel is no longer generally availa ...

In the United States, all gasoline is unleaded and is available in several grades, which are differentiated by octane rating: 87 (Regular), 89 (Super Unleaded), 91 (Premium) are typical grades. In certain regions, fuels rated at 92 and 93 Octane can also be found. Minimum octane levels are often lower in the Mountain States, where regular unleaded can be rated as low as 85 octane. A lower octane fuel is sufficient in the Mountain States because the higher altitute in these states ...

As automobiles became popular in the United States, the need for gas stations arose. The mass-production techniques for automobiles by Henry Ford allowed consumers to purchase cars at an affordable price. This increase in car ownership resulted in a greater demand for filling stations. The first gas station was built in 1907 by Standard Oil of California (now ChevronTexaco) and were known to motorists as "filling stations". Standard Oil began erecting roadside signs of their logos as advertising for their gas stations. Filling station ...

The logo is of the female personification of the USA, Columbia holding a torch. [1]. In 1993, the logo was repainted digitally by New Orleans artist Michael Deas and modeled by Jenny Joseph. [2]. This is a variation of the classic-style Columbia torch lady, used from 1936 until 1976. Taxi Driver was the last film to use the classic-style torch lady. From 1975 to 1981, Columbia (like other studios) experimented with a new logo; it began with the familiar lady with a torch, but the torch-light rays then form an abstract blue semi ...

There are generally two types of filling stations in the US: premium and discount brands. Gas stations with premium brands are often international brands that include Esso, Exxon, Chevron, Mobil, Shell, Sinclair, BP, and Texaco. Non-international premium brands include Petro-Canada and Pemex. They accept credit cards and often issue their own company cards. These stations often charge higher prices. However, the stations are numerous in locations with more pumps available. They are also tend to be more modern, cleaner and with ...

Filling station - Payment methods. In small towns and rural areas, gas stations generally allow customers to pump gas first and pay afterwards. Due to the higher incidence of crime in large urban areas (especially driving away without paying), customers must generally pay first and then pump fuel. Modern gas stations have pay-at-the-pump capabilities – in most cases credit, debit and ATM cards are normally accepted. At some stations, cash is also taken at the pump, although change must be collected by going to a cashier window which is often bulletproof.

In the US, a filling station that also offers such services as oil change and mechanical repairs to automobiles is called a service station. Until the 1970s the vast majority of gas stations were service stations; now only a minority are. This kind of business provided the name for the U.S. comic strip Gasoline Alley, where a number of the characters worked. In the UK, a 'service station' refers to much larger facilities, usually attached to motorways (see Motorway service area (UK)) or major trunk routes, which provide ...
