Really? Funny how Ive lived here all my life, and since I first started buying gasoline in the late 1990s, nobody has ever given me a hard time over doing it myself. Im usually dosing additives before filling, so I tell them this and they are OK with it. Ive never once been given a hard time because of it. And Ive bought a LOT more gas in NJ than you have.

It is efficient for the unions and the politicians that serve them. Atleast that is the case in NJ.
Again, what garbage. Unions for gas pumpers? How about some proof before you spew rhetoric that is false. I guarantee that if full service was done away with tomorrow, the prices would NOT drop one bit, as it would be "opportunity" to add profit to someone else's bottom line and pick my pocket.

yeah ok. wink wink. Because the rest of us in the other 48 states have trouble pumping gas without starting fires? So really, just why are they there then? Since you came here to spew.
