That's wonderful. There's a great Old 97s song called "Harold's Super Service" where this pump would fit right in. If there were one like it in my town, I'd drive past all of the other filling stations until I'd burned enough fuel to fill up at Far-Go. (Don't tell my bike.)

I know that song from somewhere! (Merle Haggard? An Austin City Limits episode?)

With this kind of pump, there’d be no self-service. Someone would pump the gas for you, and then you could ask for a free map. :)
