    Even if the fuel door can be opened from inside the vehicle. Someone has to remove and replace the gas cap.
    If it is the driver, then they could pump their own gas. If an attendant then they should wash the windows, inspect the tires, check under the hood and count out my S&H Green stamps
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Roger That on the cap removal...and give you a smile all the while. Used to love Texaco stations! Saddest thing ever that service has melted away and gas prices have exploded by 2000% and now you spend $300 for 6 bags of groceries and have to pack them yourself in your own bags...rant over.

    With those Texaco pumps in the background, if I remember correctly as a kid gas was ~$0.10/gal so you could fill up for a dollar...70 some years, a few thousand tons later and deeper in debt.... Thanks IntheGroove!

    Many cars (my 2018 Accord included) no longer have gas caps.
