Ruscha has said about this publication: "The first book came out of a play with words. The title came before I even thought about the pictures. I like the word ''gasoline'' and I like the specific quality of ''twenty-six.'' If you look at the book you will see how well the typography works - I worked on all that before I took the photographs. Not that I had an important message about photographs or gasoline, or anything like that - I merely wanted a cohesive thing. Above all, the photographs I use are not ''arty'' in any sense of the word."
