Mansfield station that pumped gas for customers forced to stop

MANSFIELD – A Mansfield auto mechanic says a combination of high gas prices and state regulations have forced him to close the village's only full-service gas station – much to the disappointment of some of the town's elderly residents.

Joey Crawford, 23, of Mansfield, says he realized a lifelong dream in July 2005 when he purchased the FS gas station along U.S. 150 in Mansfield from John Hauser.
