I know in the 1990s it was illegal to pump your own gas in the state of NJ.
I dont mind pumping my own gas, especially if it saves me money.

It is still illegal to pump your own gas in good ol' NJ.
I'm from NY, and when I moved to VT, I was shocked that it is legal for you to set up the pump to pump automatically when no one is standing there to watch it. People just stick the nozzle in their car, turn it on and walk inside the store all the time. Seems dangerous to me, but I'm probably just paranoid.

I was born in Oregon (Marcola), moved to/finished growing up in Washington, spent a year in Ohio, went back to WA for a few years, spent the last 2 years back in Oregon (gotta love Astoria, got my Associate's as Clatsop Community), now I'm back in WA because my husband's in the Army and we're posted here. When it comes down to it, I love to travel and visit other states, but I'll never want to permenently reside outside of the Pacific Northwest. I love how in a 4 hour driving area we have semi-arid steppes, real mountains, windsurfing and camping opportunities all over the place, and the ocean.
Here in BC Canada, you first have to pay for your gas before you pump now. It get interesting when all you have is a credit card, and you want a full tank, but you do not know how much a full up will be.
I agree, it is so awesome, you forgot to mention skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, mountain climbing, hiking and more hiking, everything for the outdoor person, Oregon rocks!
down here, that's remedied by surrendering your credit card to the attendant before pumping, or using a credit card machine on the pump, which approves payment before pumping.
