One other thing about gas in NJ... Another reason for a lack of self service is an antiquated law on the books in NJ is that self service is illegal due to the risk of fires. I believe Wyoming is the only other state in the union with this law. My father used to own a gas station and a lot of times people would want to pump their own gas. Some people actually demanded to pump their own gas, ignoring the law. It's a ridiculous law but the gas station owners lobby in NJ is so powerful that even though the law is ridiculous, it will be around for the foreseeable future. Roy
