I don't think I've let the attendant pump my gas once since I've had All Ball.

And ironically, NJ still consistently ranks among the lowest fuel prices nation-wide. Maybe if all those other states eliminated self-serve, we'd see prices plummet.

Our "full service " price in NJ is still cheaper than most, if not all, self-service prices in other states.
It is against the law to pump your own gas in NJ.

I read that NJ prices are lower than national average. I do not really miss pumping my own gas. I have done it when I lived in other states. It has been so long since I last did it, I wonder if I can remember how to do it.

*sigh, I miss full serve. Its very hard to find in California any more. There was this one station where the owner was thinking. Handled by all good looking women attendants! Always wearing skimpy shorts and lo-cut tops
