OK... I gotta rant here a bit...
I have seen this photo before, many times, but never full frame like this where we can see [almost] all of the pump and its logo. The logo is a new one on me and appears to be a modification of a Kerr - McGee sign. I cant make out the 'watermark' there on the picture, and being interested in petrolinia, got curious where this was from and what kind of 'gas' this was, so I started doing image searches.
I simply could not believe the crap that came up on my searches - and none really relevant - but the amazing thing is the PAGES of instructional videos on 'HOW' to put gas in your car. How to put gas in your car... let that sink in... and they are out there, driving, voting, procreating...

The watermark is "The Newnan Times-Herald", a newspaper published in Newnan, Georgia & locally known as The Times-Herald.

If you were using "Search with Google Lens", I can understand your frustration. It's crap compared to the original Google picture search that it has replaced. Yes, they are out there!

OK gas pump logo? I'll have to search some more.

Watermark on the photo is probably this newspaper: Newnan Times-Herald in Newnan, Georgia. Newnan is southwest of Atlanta.

I never, EVER using anything joogle... nor should you.
I found the image - sans watermark - using 'tin eye reverse image search' , but it just showing up on imgur and reddit and such, no original source. Thanx for the info.
