:  Do you mean that the gas station is closed, but you can still pump 
:gas 24/7 using a credit card?

no, there seems to need to be somebody there, although not an attendant
in any sense of the word.  In philly they are literally behind
bullet proof glass.

This is not always true in rural areas, I've nearly gotten stuck
in West Va, amazed to find a closed Exxon station (bad on so many levels).
It just amazes me that in non-rural areas its not some stations 24/7, its
every single one 24/7.  I guess 1 tank/hour pays the kid in the booth.
