I can't recall when I have seen a full service pump anywhere and certainly no one in a clean uniform coming to pump my gas.

We have a full service station right down the street from me and it's the same price as all the others. But I never go there and they get very little business. It seems weird nowdays to sit in your car while someone else pumps your gas.

In NJ it is the law that stations cannot be self-service. I believe there may be one other state that has such a law, perhaps Oregon (but I am not sure).

It must also be a low in NJ that you can't make a left turn.

You guys better watch out what you say about the the fine state of NJ. I was born in that lovely state. Self service is a PITA and if somebody is kind enough to fill up my tank and wash my windows while I listen to Techno on the radio, that is a great thing and worth a few dollar tip.

You need to save the tip money to pay the $178.25 worth of tolls that state has. All payable in 35 cent increments and every 1/8th mile.

Don't get me started on taxes John. My birth has nothing to do with my political perspectives of the state....


I have places narrowed down to Charlotte, NC and Austin, TX now. So I am either going to buy a gun and start hunting again or a ranch with lots of cattle so i can have fresh meat...

John, you sure you were in Jersey? Jersey turnpike has only one toll at exit... thats really the only major toll road I can think of unless you're referring to the Garden State Xpressway going to Wildwood or Cape May.

Born and raised in Jersey and loved it! and miss it! looking to buy a 2nd house there to get my sanity back. Ahhh, the Jersey shore, the Casinos, the Restaurants and the nightlife... Sorry, just reminiscing.

Watcha gonna hunt in Charlotte, squirrel? Everything else was hunted out years ago! Go to Alaska if'n you wanna hunt, just leave the .38 in the car, it'll just make a grizzly mad.

Just kiddin' with ya, come on down to NC we'd sure be glad to have ya!!!

I ran an office in Freehold for about 1 1/2 years - Garden State Pwky is what I'm talking about. Drive 10 feet - thrown 35 cents into the basket. Drive another 10 feet - another 35 cents. Insane. Can't just make a left turn in that state - have to do that clover leaf crap.

Actually, fantastic state. I really wish some investor would re-build Asbury Park. Seaside rocks.

Every time I drive through NJ, I am SHOCKED that there are still locals who don't have ezpass.
