Re: longest unsigned interval between gas stations. speaking of Nevada, the one gas station on US-6 between Ely and Tonopah is out of service, so the distance between services on 6 is now 168 miles. however, if you take 318 (old US-93) down to Preston, there is a station there, cutting maybe 10 miles off the distance.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: The first gas station was built in 1907 by Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) in Seattle, Washington. One of the first gas stations was owned by John McLean, who opened a location in Seattle for Standard Oil of California in 1907. Where the FIRST gas station actually appeared is in dispute. In 1913 the first automobile service station, built by Gulf Refining Company, opened in Pittsburgh at Baum Boulevard and St. Clair Street in East Liberty. It was designed by J. H.Giesey.
