Yeah, I got that. When you live in NJ and aren't allowed to pump your own gas it sure starts to feel like a diktat rather than a dictate.

now compare that map to one of typical Red vs Blue states and you will see a definite pattern...







Thanks HL and Corsair!

EW! That's horrible! So you're forced to use "Full Service" all the time?!?!?!?!?!

I don't think there are any full service stations here and if there are they are definitely few and far between.

It isn't the kind of full service you're used to...Most definitely no happy endings!

more liek partial service from what I hear... they come out pump the gas for you and expect a tip for doing so... yet most don't wash the windshield or do anything outside of pumping the gas.

They remove the gas cap, put the hose in, take your credit card and run it through the machine. When pumping is done they remove the hose, close the cap and give you back your card and receipt. That's it. I don't think anyone has actually wiped windows or checked oil at a regular gas station in 30 years!

Nobody expects tips anymore, and I've never offered.

All they .

In the old days they would have 3 guys out there putting gas in checking tires, oil and cleaning the windows. That was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Must have been a long time ago since it was before even MY time!

Hey oldman gamer - what was it like in the days of dusty roads and Model Ts?
