fill gas at Full Serve, so they check/top off your fluids and tires, instead of doing it yourself?

What would a full serve be.

Do you really mean there are ppl at the gas station to check your car when u get gas like u see in old movies??

How much extra does that service cost?

no, up here in the great white north it's called 'not wanting to freeze your balls off pumping gas when it's -25C outside'

No self-serve in Oregon. Pisses me off, I hate to wait for the damned attendent. Sometimes I get tired of waiting and start to do it myself...guaranteed way to get attention right away...the station can get massive fines if they are caught letting a customer touch the pumps. The whole thing is stupid.

Is it mandated by the law where you live, or are you just lazy? ;)

typically its just more expensive gas. for example, gas here costs $1.94/gal for regular. If I were to get it Full Serve, it would cost me about $2.29/gal. The extra cost covers them checking oil/washer fluid, tire pressure, and window squeegee

I'll save my money. Gas here was $1.39 I believe.

I don't know what you're talking about... We only have gas stations here in Texas, but then again we aren't sissies here in Texas.

You are a sissy if you are too afriad to do what YOU want - but instead have to worry about what other people may think. I can just imagine it now. You drive up to your gas station and get the full service. Then someone walks by that you might know and you scream and squeal like a little girl since you were seen at the full service section of a gas station. THAT is a sissy.

A real man will either:
1) Get the full service since he wants to, or
2) Get the self service since he wants to.
