Drive into Mickey’s Toontown for genuine Goofy Gas. You can tell you’re in California, with its stringent anti-pollution laws and special gasoline blends. This gasoline is so environmentally friendly that fish can live in the glass cylinders of the gas pumps.
 

At last—a brand that you recognize! Here at Condor Flats, everyone buys Chevron gas from the Fly’n’Buy. It’s the only gas station at this little high desert airport.
 

If you need gas while driving through Dinoland, stop at Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures store. I hope your car runs on Regular; that’s all you’ll find out here. There’s a Premium pump nearby...
 

The premium pump is nice and clean—but the location is inconvenient because it’s inside Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures store. That makes it hard to drive up to the pump without plowing through exterior walls and racks of merchandise. What were Chester and Hester thinking?
 

Oscar’s Super Service lives up to its name. Pull your car up to the pumps, and four attendants will run out to service your car—one to pump the gas, one to clean your windows, one to check your tire pressure, and one to check your oil level.
 

Remember when Gulf Oil Company used to sponsor The Walt Disney Story on Main Street? But Pete doesn’t have a Gulf station; he has a Gulp station. So drive into Mickey’s Toontown Fair and fill up with Gulp. Psst... here’s a secret... although the rest room key is inaccessible in the glass cylinder of the gas pump, their rest rooms are actually always unlocked.
 

Don’t buy your gasoline here unless you need airplane fuel. Then, don’t be surprised if you fly erratically. At least that’s what happens when the “aircraft” of Goofy’s Barnstormer fill up with Goofolene.
 

Pay just 18 cents per gallon at this rural general store from 1929. That’s a good price for gasoline. However, for the folks at this gas station, it’s the Great Depression and paying for anything is difficult. Set a nickle aside for a Coca-Cola. You’ll not only be helping the general store stay in business, you’ll also be supporting one of the original sponsors (along with American Express) of The American Adventure, the show that features this general store.

Okay, these aren’t real gas stations. But you knew that right away.

This article shows how Disney’s Imagineers take something that’s part of our everyday lives—gas stations—and make them into Disney park features that entertain, set the mood, or tell a story.

Unlike other parts of Yesterland, the gas stations on this page are all alive and well... for now, at least. The Fly’n’Buy Chevron is likely to go away when California Adventure’s Condor Flats area is re-themed.
