That's like the time my niece and nephew got into one of my work trucks and asked, "where's the button to put down the windows". They couldn't figure it out, I had to have a hands on tutorial on how a hand crank window works.
My wife sat in her car honking the horn the first time she stopped for gas outside of NJ. Then went inside to ask the guy behind the counter if he was ever going to come out.
hmmm.. seems like a setup
topping off is illegal, in all states afaik, EPA rules.One of those simple pleasures in life. Filling your own tank completely. As opposed to someone filling to 3/4 full.

It must be true, cuz I just read it on the internet.topping off is illegal, in all states afaik, EPA rules.
You do know that every gas station in america has a little roof over their pumps so when it rains you don't get wet right? If you are prepared to get all sorts of worked up over pumping your own gas, I can't imagine what you are like on any issue that actually matters when someone disagrees with youLet's face it , us NJ residents are not smart enough to pump gas. In fact the State Government said so.
In 1949, the Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act and Regulations banned drivers from pumping their own gas in New Jersey. Like so many laws, the statute claims the ban is for the drivers’ own good:
Because of the fire hazards directly associated with dispensing fuel, it is in the public interest that gasoline station operators have the control needed over that activity to ensure compliance with appropriate safety procedures, including turning off vehicle engines and refraining from smoking while fuel is dispensed
Now I for one want this law to remain in place forever. Why do I want to get out of my car in bad weather and pump my own gas? I certainly do not. If they had self-pumping here, the price for self-pumping (yes I mean pumping gas) won't go down, instead there will be a premium for paying for someone to pump it for you. Vote out any politician who tries to change it.

You do know that roofs don't protect you from single digit temperatures, nor really windy rainstorms or oppressive summer 90 degree days. And yes there are gas stations without roofs, so no every gas station does not have a roof. Second don't pretend to tell me what I am like as you spout your superior "pearls of wisdom". Your post is both obnoxious and rude. You are free to stand outside and pump your own gas, but I bet you don't if you live in NJ and no one will stop you either so go right ahead.You do know that every gas station in america has a little roof over their pumps so when it rains you don't get wet right?

Here's the thing. If you don't want to pump your own gas you don't have to but don't complain when places charge a premium for that service. What's it an extra 20 cents per gallon for non self fill and the average car has about a 15 gallon tank so even if you are empty filling up you are talking about a $3 surcharge? That's more than reasonable and not a places fault that you don't want to get your lazy ass out of the car and fill your own tank and don't think you should have to pay any extra.... Do you tip your waiters/waitresses? You do know that cooking for yourself is far cheaper than eating out. You are complaining about having to pay for a service that literally every other state in the country already doesYou do know that roofs don't protect you from single digit temperatures, nor really windy rainstorms or oppressive summer 90 degree days.

I have had to teach people from Jersey several times how to pump gas.About 15 years ago I was getting gas in Pennsylvania and saw a Cadillac with Jersey tags sitting at a different pump. After pumping my gas and noticing the driver was still waiting in the car, I approached to tell him it was self-service. Before I could do so he said, "Fill Premium". The look on his face was priceless when I told him he had to do it himself.

Women in NJ will never allow self-serve. I think the last poll that was taken, 90% of the women said they like full serve. And with Covid, I think it is 100%.
So we are stuck with this for another 100 years.
It probably employs million people.
Nobody could be that stupid.Some people will do anything to get noticed on social media. Obviously a set up.
What are you talking about...NJ has always been one of the lower priced states for gas while not self pumping...you make no sense at all or just talking to hear yourself talk and not realize everyone is sitting here looking at you like you are an idiot.Here's the thing.

Do u live in NJ and pump your own gas? If the answer is no to pumping your own gas then stop your nonsense as you are either a hypocrite or foolish.
If you live out of state then you do not even know what you are talking about. Whether you pump your own gas in NJ or not it is the same price.
You have just called all of the NJ residents lazy asses because almost no one pumps their own gas here. That includes every Rutgers fan that lives in NJ that isn't foolish enough (apparently with the exception of you) to pump their own gas when it is a free service from the salaried employee of the gas station to do so. You have insulted Rutgers Nation and the good citizens of NJ.
Next time you let someone pump your gas in NJ, don't forget to give them the reasonable $3 tip you refer to......oh wait, I am sure you have never done that.
Lol if you think Jersey has cheap gas I would strongly suggest leaving the state at some point. Consistently .60-.70 cents less per gallon in Maryland and Virginia than Jersey.... We also pump our own gasWhat are you talking about...NJ has always been one of the lower priced states for gas while not self pumping...you make no sense at all or just talking to hear yourself talk and not realize everyone is sitting here looking at you like you are an idiot.
Thank you...
I actually always tip when I'm in Jersey. I hated not being able to pump my own gas when I was in school at rutgers. Your making a big deal over having to pump your own gas, complaining that you aren't protected in single digit temperatures and don't think you should have to pay extra for a service... Ok Karen, nice talking to you!---------------------------

All the more reason why new jersey should get with the rest of the country and teach their residents how to pump gas... you know what else is awesome to do while driving? Making a left turn, lolOK 1st trip to PA when we started driving we had no idea what to do. It wasn't because we didn't know how to pump our own gas(worked at a gas station in high school) it was because we had no idea you had to prepay inside. So there we sat, "how the fvck do these things work in PA, hitting buttons lifting levers?" Till some nice old man said, "son you've got the gist, you just need to pay 1st then she'll turn on the pump."
There is a little indicator on your gas gauge that points to the side of your car where your gas tank door is
