  1. Australia has evolved along US lines with respect to servos. Back in the day, every servo in Australia also had a mechanic workshop attached and didn't sell food or even snacks besides drinks like coke and fanta. They didn't have restaurants etc. As time passed, the model changed and we got carwashes instead of workshops. Then came video shops, then came basic snacks and stuff. Then...a sudden change happened and servos became affiliated with supermarkets and sold groceries as well as fuel. They also became part of the 'Service Centre' complexes that have become common in Australia. It is a huge fuel centre that also offers food and drinks, with other shops like Maccas or Hungry Jacks or McDonald's. As well as coffee shops and other stores (Dunkin Donuts anyone?). The whole idea of entering a petrol station has changed. You rarely see a mechanic's workshop attached to a servo today.
