Sav-O-Mat station
Las Vegas, NM

Sav-O-Mat station
Raton, NM

Sav-O-Mat station
Las Cruces, NM
This Sav-O-Mat station design of the first two stations above was used in New Mexico and Colorado. I don't know how many were built or when. I believe the Las Vegas station has closed but the sign, building, and pumps are still there. The Las Cruces location was built in 1970 and was still operating in 2015. By these 2017 photos, it had closed and the pumps were gone. By 2021, the building and billboard-style sign were gone but the pole sign remains. The Raton location had closed by 2019 and remains vacant. [Las Vegas map]; [Raton map]; [Las Cruces map]
