I have lived in CA, TX, VA, MD and IN. I have driven between them all.

Speedy brand stations in Indiana are semi-full serve. They will pump your gas for $.01 more per gallon. They do not wash windows or check fluids.

In Bloomington, Ind., the Marathon service station on 45/46 near Walnut Street is true full serve. Costs $.50 extra per gallon.

When I was a kid, I actually pumped gas at Renold’s Amoco for a summer job. I patched tires, changed lightbulbes, replaced wipers, changed oil, etc. back when they were actually service station. I have some great stories from those days.

I believe it’s widespread (if not Federal) law now that any gas station’s attendant must pump your gas for you, even from a self serve pump, if you are handicapped. (You need to make some signal such as beeping your horn.)

However, I also understand that there STILL is no 50-state reciprocity agreement on handicap license plates and handicap parking. So if you have such a plate from Tennessee and you try to use a handicapped parking spot in California, you might get fined.
