This may have been the first, but the second was a huge station next to Arthur's Toy Sore on Blackstone. It was called "Coin-Op" I think. I found pictures of the actual coins used to operate the pumps. I always got my gas there and the set-up was like this. A pretty female with a large bag attached to her waist roamed between the pumps. You pulled up and she would ask you how much gas you wanted. If you needed 5 bucks worth (that would fill your tank) then she would take your money and give you 5 one dollar coins. You then dropped them into the pump much like a slot machine, except you got gas. I was a really quick set-up which is another thing I liked about the station, but the best part is that it as really cheap compared to regular gas stations.
