AP analysis notes growing popularity of self service gasoline stations across the south and west. Early data show little sign of a business boom but metrics appear bullish as adoption widens alongside cheaper, demand driven fueling.
Industry sources estimate 7 500 self service stations nationwide, up from about 2 500 in 1969, with major growth in the West and South. Companies like AMF TelTron push the model, claiming customer labor reduces costs as owners profit from stores and pumps. Two main designs exist, but legal and safety concerns remain, with 16 states banning unattended pumps despite few fires to date.
