Car history buffs...
If someone wanted to fill up their car say in... oh..... 1930s Germany... where would they go? Were the petrol stations similar to what they had in the states during that era? Any help greatly appreciated.
edit: And lets say the person that wanted to fill up that car had a great deal amount of money, power.. and title.. would his estate have some sort of... filling option on it?

I write stories sometimes. 
I knew that was coming.
Hmmm.....
I knew that was coming.
In the European car boom, BP-branded stations became fixtures on the roadside. In Germany in 1926, Aral also launched a chain of service stations. The design was functional at first, but the stations soon began to sport a distinctive semi-circular ‘mushroom stalk’ roof canopy, a landmark on German roads for years to come. The great service station design age was underway

Phillips 66 uses actual gasoline, not ethanol
you can buy lead additive at auto parts stores
wait, i misunderstood the question :rofl:
However, a person of wealth as stature, especially back then, would not be filling up his own car, or even driving himself anywhere.

So the bit I'm writing he would either have his butler take it for the mundane process of "filling it up".... or.. as in my question.. would he already have a supply on hand on his estate? I need to find out what the common practice was. I hate research sometimes.
