Back when I started driving I owned a big old LTD ragtop ... gas was like .19 cents a gallon. We all used to chip in 50 cents and drive around town all night.
When we stopped for gas the attendant always checked the tire pressure, oil, and cleaned the windows.
Today at $2.45 a gallon the gas station attendent sits in a tempurature controlled booth and has no clue what a gas cap looks like. Much less how to open the hood.
