On the corner you are talking about there is a school on the northwest corner, a gas station on both the south and northeast corners, and a new WaWa on the southwest corner, so it's possible that the station you are talking about could have been where the WaWa is now, but I would guess that the two existing stations were probably one of the ones you are referring to, probably the southeast one, since they still have the older 60S and 70s cars there most of the time.

Glad to hear they're maybe still running the place. I remember on a visit I noticed the station had changed to BP or something. Maybe somebody told me something, maybe I assumed. Don't recall anymore. I lived a block away, on Jackson Drive, across from that school on Penniman.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
