at my family's Mobil station we sold gas for 24.9 when we opened. Had one of the first self serve stations in the US. Folks would pull up to those pumps ( the big sign said self-serve) sit there and honk the horn at us. We tried using the little talk back box but they wouldn't understand where the voice was coming from!
Full serve meant we washed the front and rear windows, checked the oil and trans and visually checked the belts. Also tires if they asked us to.
Some difference today when you can't hardly find full serve anymore, and the wash buckets are pretty much dry or have a squeegie that would scratch glass if used.
Jeez i sound like an old timer!
