I think it was a good thing when you pulled into a gas station and a guy pumped your gas, checked your tires and oil and cleaned your windows. I'd still be willing to pay for that.
Maybe wash the windshield, otherwise totally not needed or wanted. My car, truck and RV all have tire pressure monitors. Nobody adds oil to their vehicles anymore, you just get it changed at the recommended intervals. And with today's modern cars, what are the chances the guy finds the dipstick in the first place? I probably have opened the hood to my car and truck less than 5 times in the last 5 years.
And I don't need anyone to fill the tank with gas anymore than I need someone to cut my steak at a steakhouse. Especially if it is going to raise the price.
The price of fuel already includes the profits for the drillers, the refiners, the transportation company, the gas station, taxes for roads and bridges and who knows what else. I really don't need to add to that the costs of a meaningless, low paying, jobs program.
