I guess it depends on how much risk you are willing to assume. I know of a cab company in Waukegan Il. that lost most of their cars a few years ago when someone got careless filling the tank. And there have certainly been gas station explosions caused by lit cigarettes in the past year, though I doubt they occur daily. That doesn't mean the NJ law is nonsense. It means that you're willing to assume a much bigger risk from idiots than I am. "Andrew M. Saucci, Jr." wrote: > I'm sorry.
