Can anyone tell me what type of gas was pumped at Wally's service station?

How about what town did Barney leave to take a new job in?

On the episode where wallys service station gets robbed, andy pulls up and gomer asks him if he wants "regular or high test" so your answer is regular or high test. i can answer your other question tommorow.

Actually I found the answer that I was looking for....

I was looking for the specific brand of gas that was sold.

E-mail if you would like to know.

Also found the town that Barney left to work at. I was torn between Mt. Pilot and Raleigh. I confirmed the proper answer.

Again, e-mail if you want to know.

I believe the type of gasoline sold at
Wally's was ACME. I saw an episode where
Andy drove up to the pumps and the name
on the pumps was ACME.

Acme Gasoline... at what, about 18 cents a gallon?

Back then you could still buy a magazine on newsstands for around 15 cents. Everything has gone up, though some categories moreso than others.

In the color ep where Goober is considering adding a third pump (business pressures), if I recall correctly one of the 2 grades he offered was Super (along with Regular).

Yes!

I'm looking at a highly detailed site on Wally's Filling Station and there's photos of the Acme gas punps, showing the Super and Regular pumps:

Yes, something like that. But air and water were free.
