Full Service Gas Stations


On the subject of gas...

Why can't you pump your own in Oregon and New Jersey?


In plain English: New Jersey and Oregon don’t trust people to not blow themselves up while pumping gas, and would rather leave the job to professionals (gas station
attendants), who undergo rigorous training where they learn that it’s bad to smoke while pumping gas, bad to leave the car running, and bad to put gas anywhere except a car’s fuel tank or other approved containers.

These laws were passed in 1949 and 51 and although a little outdated...would be nice on a cold wintry day (or rainy) to sit back and let someone else endure the weather.
don't forget to tip!

It is too bad Iowa doesn't pass
the same law that NJ and Oregon
has about pumping gas. I'm sitting
here watching the snow trickle
down and know it would have been
a GREAT idea.

The press is picking an Palin again. Guess she didn't know if
Africa was a country or a continent. A FOX news man even
was the one that reported this one.
It gives the news people something
to talk about now that the election
is over with. They will now start
to find fault with everyone Obama
picks for his cabinet. What next?
