- 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.
