Maps
Petrol Maps is designed to give a brief history of Road Maps issued
by, or in association with, petrol and oil companies in Europe. Most
maps were sold through petrol stations, although a few were issued
directly by Oil Company Touring Services. Unlike in North America,
where road maps were widely given away free in gas stations, in Europe
most were sold for a nominal charge. This means that fewer maps were
printed of each title than was common in the US and - inevitably
- fewer have survived. There are also only a handful of European
collectors of Petrol Company Road Maps who are preserving them from
destruction.
