And we used think that was a high price. Just remember the HST (BST) is on gasoline. It's based on a percentage so the government gets more. Great start for today's posting, Lesley.
Over here there's no chance of any service at all at a gas station. And in spite of all our oil, we probably have the most expensive gas in the world! Today it was US$ 2,34 pr. liter, multiply by 4 for a US gallon. Great sign!
Full serve stations are few and far between. My first job was pumping gas. You got your gas pumped, windshield washed and oil checked for .29 US/gallon. Of course, I was making $6.00 for a 10-hour work day.
We pump our own petrol in Australia! Our petrol is currently 138.00 a litre in Victoria. It's showing little sign of going backwards! Interesting seeing these signs from elsewhere in theworld!
Lesley, my first submission. No themes, right? My contribution is sooo late. I have been sorting out my fotos from my recent trip to China and found these.Will they do? Is this a weekly meme? Rosie
I only saw a full service station in Oregon. I don't think this service is being offered here in CA at all.

ReplyDeleteA no-frills sign, pretty functional.
ReplyDeleteAnd we love your full-service meme!
ReplyDelete(BTW, Oregon is one of only two states in the US that does not allow patrons to pump their own gas. I miss it!)

ReplyDeleteI can't recall the last time I visited a full service station.
ReplyDeleteI visited your ghost photo on the wall and could not find a way to link a comment.
Just wanted to say that there are a lot of those weathering away signs in my town. Some are amazing.
You guys get your posts done so early! I always seem to be at the end. You certainly don't see many full-service stations anymore.
ReplyDeletenever mind - I love it when I see a new contribution on Thurs afternoon!
ReplyDeleteFull service - rare indeed.
ReplyDeleteStill a lot cheaper than lots of other places
