Full Service at most place will be at least $.10 more .... IF YOU ASK ME THE PRICE INCREASE IS A SCAM...if more people drive in summer should it not be lower? THE GAS COMPANIES ARE RIPPING OFF EVERYBODY !!! and GOVERNMENT putting more taxes on Fuel is OUTRAGOUS ! I know five states I have been in recently have at least $.39 is tax...when gas was 1.09 that means over 1/3 price is TAX.... I think we swayed from the ATM thing But it is all tied in together because BIG BUSINESS knows they have us by the balls and will increse FEES on everything until we all get fed up ie,. Go to only banks that have free checking or visa check cards with no fees. I think the days of true ATM card are limited. I have a Visa check card and use it all the time. I have saved money by using it instead of ordering checks. WHY would any body want an ATM card when they could have one of these without a fee ????? We are the consumers and we can tell banks what we want. They are suppose to make there money off of loans and investing deposits wisely, not off charging outrageous fees for ATM cards, checks, etc.,.,.. Sorry I got Long winded but BIG BUSINESS and POLITICS really PISS me OFF !!! James
