Why is that (only fools buy premium)?  Some car makers recommend it
and there is a noticable difference between different octanes for some
autos.

Are you sure?  I've heard it many times on national TV that NJ has the
cheapest gas prices.

You should come down to Maryland where it cost 1.60 for full service
for 87 octane and 1.30 for self-serve.  

Some of us don't want to smell like gasoline, get soaked when it's
raining, or leave the warmth of the car to pump gas.  

BTW, it's illegal for the grunts to smoke when pumping your gas.  If
they are, you should report them and/or stop buying gas there.

I've also heard that the insurance rates go up for stations with
self-serve.  When have you known insurance companies to be rational?

It would be nice if the oil companies would realize that the Gulf War
ended and bring the prices back down to what they were before the
Kuwaiti invasion (corrected for inflation of course).
