Sometimes it’s just too hot or you’re just too lazy to get out of the car. Those are the times when you long for the days of yore when full-service gas stations were the norm. But they haven’t all vanished: You can still stop in St. Pete tire institution Bob Lee’s for a fill-up without ever having to leave the air-conditioned comfort of your car. They’ll even check your oil and tire pressure while you’re there. 1631 Fourth St. N., St. Petersburg, 727-822-3981.
