And to the OP: Changing to self service won't lower the prices.
I've never been to a full service gas station where the prices weren't higher than everywhere else.
Do you really think that labor cost isn't added in to your gas prices? That seems like an incredibly silly position to take.

New Jersey and Oregon are the only 2 states where you can't pump your own. The reason our gas is still cheaper for full service is that it's the ONE tax in NJ that hasn't been raised through the roof. The gasoline retailers' assoc. has lobbied to keep the taxes low, because people like full service at low prices. If the tax went up, people would THINK they could get lower prices for self-serve, and then the jobs would be lost. Problem is, prices would NOT go down for self serve. I am thrilled to have someone else pump my gas here in NJ..I don't have to get out in the rain or snow, and have my hands smell like gas..I hope this never changes while I'm still living here!
