Jack Burns filling Atiyeh's car with gasohol

Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh (right) watches Jack Burns (left) fill the state vehicle with gasohol. The Burns Bros. gas stations were the first in Oregon to offer gasohol for sale to the public. The mixture was 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent alcohol, and was believed to burn cleaner than straight gasoline. The mixture sold at the Burns Bros. and could be used without converting the carburetors of vehicles.
