                     (a New York limited partnership)
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              March 31, 1996
                                (unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in
the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation.

2.  Organization:

Power Test Investors Limited Partnership ("Partnership") is a New York
limited partnership which was formed in January 1985 to invest in and
become the limited partner in Power Test Realty Company Limited Partnership
("Operating Partnership"), also a New York limited partnership.  The
Operating Partnership was formed to acquire, own, lease and sell or dispose
of certain of the assets ("Assets") formerly used in the petroleum
marketing operations of Getty Oil Company and Getty Refining and Marketing
Company located in the Northeastern and Mid- Atlantic states.  The
Operating Partnership has leased to Getty Petroleum Corp. ("Getty") the
Assets which were acquired on February 1, 1985.  The leases are principally
for initial periods of fifteen years expiring January 31, 2000 (subject to
multiple renewal periods through 2050) and provide for aggregate annual
rental payments of approximately $10,330,000 as of March 31, 1996.  The
general partner of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership is CLS
General Partnership Corp. ("General Partner").

The limited partners of the Partnership contributed approximately 79% of
the capital of the Partnership and share pro rata with the General Partner
(which contributed approximately 21% of the capital of the Partnership) in
the financial and tax attributes of the Partnership.  The Partnership
contributed 99% of the capital of the Operating Partnership and shares pro
rata with the General Partner (which contributed the remaining 1% of the
capital of the Operating Partnership) in the financial and tax attributes
of the Operating Partnership.  In 1990 and 1991, the General Partner
purchased 38,933 and 46,000 units of limited partnership interests,
respectively, further increasing its ownership of the Partnership as of
March 31, 1996 to approximately 22.3%.

3.  Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and the Operating Partnership.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The General Partner's share of the Operating Partnership's income for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 has been reflected as "Income
applicable to minority interest" in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income.

4.  Cash and Cash Equivalents:

As of March 31, 1996, $1,847,000 of cash is restricted for the acquisition
of additional properties or the repayment of debt.  In addition, the
Operating Partnership is required under the terms of its mortgage loan
agreement to maintain cash balances or other investments of at least
$1,000,000 through December 31, 1998 and $500,000 thereafter.

5.  Partners' Capital:
                                                                 Total

6.  Dispositions of Properties:

eleven times the annual rental, resulting in a net gain of $242,539 to the
Partnership.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Operating Partnership
sold a service station property to Getty for eleven times the annual
rental, resulting in a net gain of $339,475 to the Partnership.

During the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a service
station property and the New Haven terminal were subject to partial
condemnations which resulted in the taking of certain of the land.
The condemnations resulted in a net gain to the Partnership of $14,705 and
$158,494, for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The net gains resulting from the aforementioned dispositions have been
reflected in "Other income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of

                 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Partnership was formed to invest in and become the limited partner in
the Operating Partnership.  The operations of the Operating Partnership
consist of leasing to Getty properties which were acquired by the Operating
Partnership on February 1, 1985.  The leases are principally for initial
periods of fifteen years expiring January 31, 2000 (subject to multiple
renewal periods through 2050) and provide for aggregate annual rental
payments of approximately $10,330,000 as of March 31, 1996.

The decrease in rental income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the prior year period is due to the sale of certain properties.

The decrease in other income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the prior year period is principally due to $241,000 of reduced
gains on dispositions of properties. Other income also includes interest
income earned on investments for each of the respective periods.

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996
as compared to the 1995 period was principally due to lower interest rates and
debt outstanding as a result of refinancing the Operating Partnership's debt.

At March 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3,783,000, of
which $2,847,000 was restricted under the terms of the mortgage loan.
Restricted funds of $1,673,000 may be used to acquire additional properties
or to reduce the outstanding loan balance and the Operating Partnership is
required to maintain cash balances or other investments of at least $1,000,000
through December 31, 1998 and $500,000 thereafter.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired
a service station property in New Jersey, and certain land adjacent to an
existing service station property in Massachusetts, for a total of $325,000.
The Operating Partnership has entered into lease agreements with Getty for
these locations at fair market rentals.

On November 9, 1995, the Partnership announced that it may purchase in the
market from time to time through March 15, 1996 up to 150,000 of its Units
at prices not to exceed $8.00 per Unit.  In June 1995, the Partnership had
offered to purchase Units for $7.50 per Unit.  Through March 15, 1996, the
Partnership purchased 9,912 Units for $76,897, of which 514 Units were
purchased for $4,112 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The Partnership has made quarterly cash distributions to its unitholders
since 1987.  On June 4, 1996, a cash distribution of 18.5 cents per unit
will be paid to unitholders of record on May 1, 1996.  On April 23, 1996, a
special extra cash distribution of 10 cents per unit was paid to
unitholders of record on April 11, 1996.
