Gas was higher in 1960. In 1960 you went to "the service station".
You didn't have to get out of your car. You got ALL your windows washed, your oil, water, windshield washer fluid and the air in your tires checked. The attendant (sometimes more than one) took your money then brought you the change while you pointed to the spots on the windows he missed....for about $0.25 cents (when there wasn't a gas war) as I recall.

In 2004 you get a little much needed exercise.
In 2004 those very same attendants are inside collecting money for your sodas, your fresh hot coffee, etc.
That service did not merit the extra cost.
BTW, I can get full service here, and it's still cheaper than in 1960.
