We don't get service like this very often anymore.  An attendant checks under the hood at a Jacksonville Amoco station in 1949.  The golden era for full-service stations came during the Fifties.  Interstate highways were constructed across the US, including I-95 through Jacksonville.  Cars as big as whales set sail on the new roadway system.  These large-finned vehicles, with teams of horses under the hood, guzzled gas.
