BY LAW, WE CAN'T.
when i had my mustang..the one i posted a pic of in the other place......no one touched that car. i always pumped my own. i do in my dakota too. if i'm a bit impatient, even in my taurus i will, and NOBODY touches my bike.
some others pump thjeir own, but most are lazy poopoos, and just sit in their cars like a bunch of zombies.
i think we're the only state in the union, that doesn't allow it.
I didn't know it was law.
A few years ago, maybe around 2002, i was working in either edison, or hackensack and stopped for fuel. I swiped the gas card and started to fill up like normal.
This indian guy with a big towel hat and zz top beard came running over, yelling my friend, my friend you can't do that.
I started laughing, and said don't worry man, thanks i got it, continuing to fill up.
He looked around nervously, and said again, noooo my friend you cannot pump gas here.
I started to get pissed, and again said listen i've got it under control.
One more time now in an angry voice he says, my friend you CAN NOT DO THAT! pointing his finger at me.
I had enough and stopped at 15 gallons, called him a terrorist *(#@ got in my van and left.
Now that explains it. To bad he didn't just say it was against jersey law.
