“Fill ‘er up!”

What you used to say to the guy who came out of the station when you went for gasoline for your car.

LOL, if you have to drive through New Jersey, you can still say that with the original meaning.

They don’t allow customers to pump gas there, which is odd. (at least on the New Jersey Turnpike)

Hey Ditter. Been a while.

I can remember the ice man delivering ice for our wooden ice box.

We have a service station here in town that has 'full service' with a fill-up. You pull in and five guys/gals immediately fill your gas tank, fluff your tires, vacuum your inside floors, clean all your windows, check your oil and radiator water, all in about three minutes. They've been doing this since the early 60's. The attendants are young people and they're so friendly that you want to give them a tip.

You can still say that in New Jersey and Oregon. We still have a few gas stations locally that are called full serve as opposed to self serve and can say that but you pay more for that.
