They still have to pump it for you in Jersey? Been 25 years since I lived in the Hudson Valley and been in the Garden State. If so, $1.93 is cheap for full serve. I ain't seen a full serve station in 15 years.

Update: Am talking to a buddy of mine I used to tournament bass fish with from Augusta, Ga. He paid $1.64 for 87 octane across the river from him in Aiken, SC this morning. He din't notice price of other grades or diesel...

 

Holy crap. We are getting RAPED up here in Michigan. I paid 2.19 a gallon for 87 octane on Thursday..... (or maybe it was Friday.....)

I haven't seen a full serve station in decades.

 

Hell yeah, full service in NJ, self service is not available or allowed.

Just saw $2.45 for diesel.

 

I am real curious what their reasoning is for that..... are folks in NJ incapable of pumping their own gas? What makes them different then the rest of the country? Hell, they even let folks in Commiefornia pump their own gas........

 

It's all about the money.

 

Nope. The people there always vote against self-service.

New Jersey drivers may soon have to pump their own gas


Oregon is the only other State with no self-service. If that's what the people in those States want then that should be fine.

FWIW, regular unleaded is between $1.98 and $2.45 in the OKC area. Cheaper gas is going to be E-10.

 

We were happy when the crap 87 with ethanol hit $2.49

 

Suppose it beats the near 4 bucks a gallon we were paying.

 

I'm old enough that I pre-date quickie marts. When I was a lad all gas stations were full serve and had repair bays. Always asked to check your oil and would check radiator, windshield washer and tires and top off at no charge. At most they had a soda bottle, snack and cigarette machines.

I worked at one when I was a junior in high school. Manager always had two people at the pumps. One to pump gas and handle the $ and credit card knuckle buster and the other to wash windshields and check/top off fluids and air.

I can remember when the first self serve station opened in upstate NY. Had the little hut in the middle where one employee sat surrounded by pumps.

Even though they tended to be a dime or so cheaper per gallon than full serve because their labor costs were a fraction, everybody I knew stayed clear and predicted their demise - at first. LOL...

 

Went to VA this weekend to visit my folks and take in a Hokie game. Cheapest was 1.99 on I-81 just before getting on I-77 south. Normally Virginia is 30-40 cents cheaper because of the gas tax in NC. I can still get 1.97 at Walmart at home. I hear the barrel is going for less than $20 now. Last year this time or was what, $100 a barrel?
