Subject corrected.

Of course, if it passes it's another reason to get an electric car (but I'm sold anyway).

It wasn't my subject, it was ABC's. And I'm not being forced by politicians to get an electric car.

Having once lived in NJ and experienced how long you have to wait, I much prefer to pump my own.

It's horrible. I CRINGE every time I have to get gas in N.J.. The long lines, trying to get the Indian (dots, not feathers) or the white trash gas jockey 's attention to let them know youe tank is full, wait for them to come back with your change or debit card, etc..

Actually, when gas was first sold at pharmacies, it came in cans and you had to pour it in yourself.

Pay at the pump dates from 1973, so I was alive before that.

I don’t know. It sounds like nanny state legislation. I’m not opposed to jobs but how dangerous is pumping gas in the first place?

I never found it dangerous.

What I don't like is waiting at the pump for several minutes and saying to myself "Where is this &$#@ing attendant?" never mind having to tell him a dollar amount or just to fill the tank.

It was rare but it existed.

I remember my mother saying in the late 50s that she didn't want to stop at a self-service gas station.

So move to NJ. The drawbacks will eventually sink in, and the advantage of lower gas tax in NJ is long gone and not coming back.
