As a kid I used to love the smell of Super and Standard petrol ( no I wasnt inhaling it out of a coke bottle ), just the smell when you were filling up.

I remember they used to have attendants and you didnt get out of your car, paid cash and off you went, they used to have a Kerosene bowser at the AMPOL not far from where I grew up, remember them having a White V6 GT Capri on the single post hoist, I think it was the owners toy.

The best part was the servo garages were quite profitable giving you good driveway service in those days, these days you do it all yourself and being ripped off with fuel pricing.

Yep, the oil companies have truly stooged everyone.
