I remember when they'd check your oil and clean your windshield too.
On our way to the NY rally this year we stopped for gas in the town of Renovo in north central PA. 2 pumps right on the sidewalk with the rolling numbers - 1 gas, 1 diesel. The owner wrote the gallons down on a pad on a clipboard, then told us how much we owed. Didn't offer to clean my windshield though....

$3.49 is the cheapest I've seen here lately.



I remember the windshield being cleaned and oil checked too, I even worked at one where I had to do that when I was a kid.I just went through a town here in PA where the guy had 2 of those old pumps right on the edge of the sidewalk. So you pulled up as if to parallel park to get gas. Didn't stop so I don't know what the guy did when you actually bought some.

Anyone remember when the gallons used to go faster on the pump counters than the dollars?



Yep and I also remember the mechanical rolling numbers behind the glass on the pumps too. I think cheapest I remember is about 40 cents a gallon.



I remember gas in the 40s... Anyone else remember that little bladed thing in a glass bubble on top of the old pumps that used to swirl around as the gas flowed? And a bell that used to ring. Once for each gallon? Now before you label me as old as dirt (I'm not quite there yet, I hope), I did grow up in a very small town...



Don't remember the little thing turning but I do remember the little bell that rang out the gallons.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
