    I only buy self-serve gas, but about 20 years ago ALL
    gas stations were full-serve!

    That means that the pump-jockey actually filled your
    tank while you sat in your car.

    I was a pump-jockey a loooong time ago.
    Gas was about .35 cents!!

    Can’t think of any station around here that still has full service gas. Guess that’s as much of a historical thing as a dial telephone now.

    Self-Serve. In my area there are only 3 Full Service Stations, one is less than 1/2 mile from a retirement condo, most of their business is from them…

    In my area one pump is usually full-serve.

    Also, the stations that DON’T have full-serve usually
    do have handicap service.

    I don’t know of any full service stations in the area I live. I am sure there are, just well hidden.

    So they rotate it by days? That’s interesting. How often do they have full-serve?

    Do they raise the price of the gas or does it stay the same on the full serve days? Interesting idea.
