THERE ARE two types of gas stations — full-service and
self-service. Recently, some oil companies announced
they were thinking about changing some of their self-
service stations over to full-service. Both have a number
of advantages and disadvantages. Self-service stations
often’ mean lower prices; full-service stations mean

motorists do not have to fill their tanks themselves. The
firms say sales at self-service stations are declining and
their customers want some of the pampering that full-
service stations provide. This week, the Inquiring
Reporter asks people which type of station they prefer in
filling their tanks.

Self-serve is good because
full-serve sometimes
doesn’t do as good a job

best.

tribute on a per capita basis.

report accompanying the request.
