I didn’t even realize they still did that.

New Jersey and Oregon; the only states that require the attendant to pump it for you.

Seriously! Wow! Why? What is “the state” saving “the masses” from with THAT silly rule? Spilling gas into the environment? Breathing fumes? Getting their hands dirty? What??!?

In Massachusetts, some towns require that at least one pump per station be full service. My wife never pumped her own gas (that’s probably the only reason she married me) until she and a girlfriend (she says it was a girlfriend) drove up to Maine to shop at the outlets and she needed gas on the way home.

As I recall, Massachusetts was one of the first states to allow self-service, around 1970, when New York and most other states still outlawed it.
