It's an entirely unnecessary profession. Isn't there something else they can come up with that is actually of appreciable use? If I have ever have to go through either of those places, I'll be sure to plan my gas stops accordingly.

Not all of NJ is bad. The northern area and the seashore all the way down to Cape May is worth keeping. And despite the extra pump manpower overhead, gas prices in NJ are the lowest in the NE. Just be have to check the filler cap before you leave the station.

I pulled up and she was standing looking the pump with a very confused expression, and her daughter was yelling out the widow "where is the gas man?"

I hate gas stations that charge you extra for using a credit card instead of cash. I've pulled back out and gone someplace else more than once for that, irritates the bejesus out of me.

dont lump all of the US in with NJ...
$2.12USD for 87octane, $2.51USD for US gallon of 93 octane right now. But that's not as cheap as it was a year ago for the tourist visitors since the Euro is approaching parity and the CAD made its dive way under. I'm in FL and we have 10% of the Canadian country here over the winter anymore.
Don't assume the rest of the US is allowing the station pumper to touch our tanks. It's just NJ with the pump law and some state(s) in the northwest. Maybe it's just having an out of state plate driving once through NJ, but I was not seeing the gallons we paid. Thank above it was only driving through there once.

WHAT in the name of???
That's hilarious that you can't pump your own gas, well you fellow Americans are so special anyway!
I want to see the gas station attendant, that fills up my gas tank to full.
When the Computer says 0km left, you can fill it up with 104,5L. 85L goes in easilly, then the last 20L By "clicking".
I don't like anybody to fill my tank, just because they loose the filler cap, or spill gas all over the car, or they don't get it filled properly to full.

BTW - Ive been eyeing the W12 lately. There is one for a pretty reasonable price $27K USD nearby in North Florida, having descent year, miles and condition. Seems stupid cheap for such a supercar, but local repair shops scare off the timid. Once I get this 4.2L in good form then it does to my wife and the W-12 is on the list next.

I have lived in NJ for 60+ years. They say we only need to bribe another 200 to 300 State workers in the EPA and than we can pump our own gas. The real reason we can't is because of the greed and corruption of our politicians, if we pumped our own gas than the public would want to know why we're paying the same gas prices as in NC. FYI, NJ has one if not the largest oil refinery on the East Coast so the delivery costs are nil and the profit margins for the distributors and dealers are high and of course, the consumer gets screwed. There is one consolation, at least we don't have to pay S.F., CA gas prices which are $4+ a gallon.
