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.
