The guy I buy fuel from upcharges 5 cents/gallon and 10 cents/gallon for
full serv.  The tricky bit is chain stores that adjust 
charges by location.  Go by the highway and the same Shell station charges
almost 10c more per gallon than the one a few miles away. 
Then again there is a truckstop that charges 3c over and is right on the
highway. (of course they do much more business filling 
semis than cars.
