FWIW, when I'm on the motorcycle, I _hate_ "full service".  The
attendant rushes over to me and then has to stand there awkwardly while
I get off the bike, take my helmet off, take the bag off the tank area,
unlock the tank, get my wallet out, etc.  Then we have to go through the
stupid little dance of whether or not a want a paper towel to catch the
pump dribble (thanks to the silly harley people who care more about the
paint on their tank than how the bike rides).  Or you sometimes run into
maroons who hand you the pump immediately and somehow expect you to do
all that stuff holding a gas pump in one hand.  And then there's the guy
who wants to talk to you about your motorcycle as if motorcycles are
somehow macho... like football, lawn mowers, or putting up sheet rock.
[sigh]

The bright side, however, is that I don't care that much how expensive
the gas is or how much tax is added on!  I buy a max of 3.5 gallons at a
time and that takes me something like 140 miles. ;-)
