One of the Garden State’s most distinctive features is a law that prohibits motorists from pumping their own gas. That may be about to change. We asked two state residents: Should New Jersey drivers be able to pump their own gas?
Should New Jersey drivers be able to pump their own gas?By Claire Sylvester
A lot of New Jerseyans I know feel the same way. It’s a part of how we grew up, our identity. We’re from New Jersey, where the pizza is always at least decent, summers down the Shore are a way of life, and one of the first things we tell someone who asks where we are from is the exit off the closest major highway.
The first time I ever had to pump gas for myself, I was around age 20, driving through Delaware on my way home from visiting a friend at college. Was it difficult? No. Was it confusing? A little. Was I glad I lived in a state where I didn’t have to suffer this inconvenience, and yet, somehow, gas was still cheaper? Absolutely.
