You can actually be fined in NJ for pumping your own gas. It has been a huge debate for yrs! I believe Oregon is the one and only state that requires an attendant. I'm sure you'll fine lots of info on it if you google it.

Sorry I am confused. You say you can be fined in NJ without an attendant, but then you say Oregon is the only state that requires an attendant

NJ requires an attendant as well. You can be fined for pumping your own gas...and the station can be fined for letting you pump your own gas.

My typo above... I meant to type Oregon was the only other state (besides NJ) that requires an attendant. Sorry for the confusion.

That's because you are Professionals, the rest of the population is too damn stupid to know that gasoline running over their shoes is a bad thing when they just squeeze the handle and aim it at the vehicle because they cannot find the gas cap.

There's a reason why they don't let people in NJ pump there own gas.
I can see where somebody could grab the wrong nozzle, but you would NOT get any diesel unless you pushed the button to turn on the diesel pump. You DID push one of the GAS buttons, didn't you?

Diesel has its own dedicated nozzle. There wouldn't be a "gas" button to push.
