When I worked part-time at Sears it was interesting to see the variation of tire pressure among the wheels. What was a real surprise to me is that customers rarely, and I mean rarely, ask to have their spare checked although we always checked for inflation. It is easy to forget something that one cannot always see.

I can remember when I worked at a full service gas station, we would offer to check air pressure at every fill-up, wash the windows inside and out, vac the floor, empty ash trays, check everything under the hood, and give a smile and a pleasant HELLO to the customer.

There will be some increase in mpg, but nothing monumental. I run all my vehicles at the tire manufacturer's maximum cold inflation point. Slightly better mpg, stiffer ride. Every weekend I check all the vehicles tire pressure and adjust accordingly.

Full Service ?
Your memory must be from the early '60s or 50's. I haven't seen "full service" since then, and even then not in every part of the country

Have a couple of full service stations around me but they only pump gas none of the extra stuff.
