I grew up in New Jersey, but moved away in 1971 and I can't remember being filled by an attendant, but I guess that's what happened. I remember when I was a little kid, the attendant would fill your tank, wipe and clean the windshield and ask if you needed oil because cars started burning oil after the high mileage of 40,000 miles. Back in the 1950s, there was a Bardahl commercial where they sang, "Is you car old enough to smoke?" Bardahl was an oil additive to engines with significant wear. I just Googled Bardahl and apparently they still make it. Amazing!
