$8,000.00 worth of gasoline is sold in Minot each day of the year to car owners, at the various service stations, according to estimates. This is on the basis of between three and four car loads of gasoline sold at an average price of 23 cents a gallon and does not include much more which is taken out of the city, in tanks for use on the farms and surrounding towns. And the oil business has just started to grow.
