Old school.
Octan rules, Shell drools.
Beat me to it! Shell's service was far better after Octan bought'em out!
That is correct octan is a lot better than shell.
What about Exxon? (6375-2)

A well balanced Playset that has everything including a baseplate. Hey Lego, I would buy this. Bring back that motorbike and hair piece too.
That lift is pretty impressive, especially for back then!
This was past my LEGO playing days. But I always like the Shell sets. Nice color combination. I got the 2 Shell set from about 1973.
I love the blue car.
Ah, my style of cars! At least historically. Never had this particular set, but used to build a lot of cars like this...
A friend of mine had this set. Oh, how I envied him. Looking at this set, I guess I still do...
Shell for life for me. I can only remember Shell sets from my youth.
I remember this set, sadly my instruction sheet is a bit tatty now. It still confuses me how the tow truck is smaller than the car though!
Loved this set when I was little... The octan one I got later was somewhat more detailed, but this one will always have a special place in my heart.
Do I see correctly that the blue car has an opening 2x2 bonnet? :)
Hey cool, one of my old sets. Unfortunately I poured some nasty glue on one side of the baseplate back then, but other than that it is still in almost brand new condition.
Always wanted this one. Thought it was a major upgrade over my original Exxon station.
Wish LEGO will release a LEGO City refuel station soon, it's such a great idea
My parents bought that for me. Oh the memories being 5 and not managing to build it right. All I got left today is one torn page of the intructions.
Finally got the City 2016 gas station a year ago - that's a pretty nice set. No baseplate or lift, though.
Another set I wanted as a kid. Love seeing all these old sets pop up.
This was the first Lego set I ever owned. Brings back a lot of memory's seeing it again.
