New Jersey has enjoyed full service at the pumps for decades and many in The Garden State are unwilling to change that. But why? Why such strong resistance?
A couple of months ago, a bill was proposed to allow New Jersey residents to pump their own gas. It was met with a lot of criticism and ultimately didn't pass.
Efforts to bring self-serve gas to the Garden State are essentially dead after State Senate President Nicholas Scutari (D-Union) says he does not support it.
The New Jersey legislature finally grew a set and introduced a bill in the State Assembly to allow self-serve gas -- but with a condition that ought to make everybody happy.
