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 !!!
