The price of gas at a full service station is inflated to cover the service. Do not tip.

As a former full-service station owner I know what service means. And tips are not necessary, we pay/get paid for that service we provide. If you feel you received EXCELLENT service and wish to tip that is your choice, but it is not required.
Full service means-- Fill the vehicle with the correct amount and type of fuel, check tire pressure, wash windows front and back, check ALL the fluids under the hood, and do it quickly and politely!
and yes I'm old fashioned

I'd say 15% of the bill (same as food service) would work. That's IF you can find a FULL-service station. Clean the front/back windows, check the oil and washer fluids, and check the tire pressure...all worth a tip...especially on those colder days!

I do not tip- what do you mean by full service-In NJ there are no self-service gas stations-it is against the law to pump your own gas

Not one thin dime. When you find full-serve stations, they jack the price anyway. Besides, trying to get one of those creeps to come out of their little bulletproof cubicle just ain't gonna happen in California. Full serve is pretty much non-existent. I actually had to wake one of those morons up at 11 PM one night by banging on the glass. Scared the crap out of him, too. The only time you can get someone to pump gas for you is in one of those prehistoric states where it's illegal to pump your own. And those cretins certainly ain't going to check the air, oil, or wash your windows. No.. No tip.

I tip IF they wash the winshield and offer to check fluids, if they just grab the cash and pump the gas then, nope! Tips, in my book are for quality service, not for just doing a job.

you really dont tip at a full sevice unless he or she goes beyond the call of duty. if he checks you oil and the tire pressure and checks the fluids you MIGHT want to tip him as a thank you if he just pumps your gas a nice smile and thank you would do

Nothing, the tip is reflected in the higher gas price.

10% of the total cost of gas seems right
