This Is A Petrol Station

A petrol station stripped to its, ahem, pure essence. Fuel in jar, profile raised by placing on brick. Elegant and ubiquitous in HCMC. The fancy version, above, offers oil too.

The grandest petrol stations IMHO can be found in China - the massive and often brutal design of the physical structures dwarfing even the largest trucks that pull in.
