<VV> Gas Fillups Re: Filling tank in early model

[FrankCB at aol.com]

And in New Jersey where we're not allowed to pump our own gas.  Maybe  
that's because our gas is so much more "dangerous" than the gas in much of the  
rest of the country.  Or, it could be that our legislators just  regard US 
as much more dangerous.<GGGGG>  
Anyway, that reminds me that when my late wife would pull her Corvair up to 
 the gas pump many times the young attendant would tell her to pull up 
further so  he could get the nozzle toward the back end of the car.  Without a 
word she  would do so and watch as the poor kid tried to find the opening 
somewhere in  the rear area of the Corvair.  Only when he asked her where the 
gas  goes did she reveal the location.  She told me she wanted to "educate"  
those youngsters about Corvairs.
