        Wow. I had no idea this law existed anywhere in the U.S. I would feel really weird having someone pump my gas. I would feel like an invalid or something. I mean I can understand if you're a woman, or really, really old, but a man's got to pump his own gas. If I went to Jersey or Oregon I would tip the guy to let ME pump the gas myself.

          Not sure what the hell happened, but this thread is about pumping your own gas.

            I never had any one pump gas for me. I would think they would have full service here, with how the weather gets down here.

              Lets see, I think I was 11 or 12 and I could pump gas on my own and stop it on the right amount. Its not hard, just get out of your car.

                First, you lock your door. Then, when your tank is full....it stops pumping automatically.

                  I stand right next to my car while I am pumping gas.

                  If you want a snack, go inside, buy your snack and pay for your gas instead of paying at the ATM. Then after that, come outside and pump your gas. No way do I leave my car unattended while pumping gas. That would be silly.

                    It's not an east thing, the only two states they have it in are New Jersey, and Oregon, I believe.

                      Wow, you're friend isn't too bright I take it? Even if he's never had to pump his own gas, its not like its something you have to be taught. I've always pumped my own gas and never had anyone show me how its done. A full-serve station opened up down the street from me that eventually changed to either a self-serve or some kind of hybrid type thing. I never went there because I didn't want to have to tip the guy who pumped my gas, I'd rather do it myself. It takes 2 seconds.

                      And if you want a snack or soda or something, you pump your gas first then go get whatever you want. If the gas station is crowded you move your vehicle out of the way, then go inside. Pretty simple stuff.

                          I thought this thread was gonna be about people trying to conserve gas. Boy was wrong.

                            Having someone else pump my gas for me would be the weirdest thing ever. If I ever travel out that way I'll make sure to fill up right before I enter the state.

                              Lol I never knew anything about this. So shouldn't there be laws to protect people from New Jersey when they travel out of state and have to pump their own gas? Shouldn't there be laws protecting people who have to pump gas at the same time as New Jersians (Have no idea if that's a word or not)? This obviously should be a bigger issue.

                                I pumped my parents' gas when I was 12. It's not rocket science. Good grief.
