I haven't seen a fuel attendant in close to 2 decades.

I'm amazed that you have used them for 1% of fuel ups.

Give me a break, the new car is superior in every aspect in terms of quality than the older one. If one cannot see that then they have serious issues.

If anything, 3GS was pretty lacking in that department - sure plastic was nice, but the noises were not and seriously, now there is leather everywhere. I cant understand someone honestly complaining how 4GS has worse interior than 3GS, it doesnt. Not by a long shot... heck even discussing it seems silly.

Other than several trim pieces feeling plastic-y the 4GS definitely felt much more like a luxury vehicle than my 3GS.

You can always wrap whatever trim they have- probably going to wrap my BMW's wood with gloss black 3M vinyl if I don't trade it in for the new GS.

I think all gas stations in Hong Kong are full-service, I've never seen one that's self serve. But then again I've never driven up (or at least never had to refill) in more remote places so maybe there are several out there.

Well as I stated. In some states and/or countries, there are laws that prohibit self service fuel...

Example: New Jersey and Oregon are the only U.S. states that currently ban self-service gas stations.
