I happen to have a "nice" salary, making equivalent to what those in NJ make for my profession, so for me it's a win, win situation. Same salary as if I worked in NJ, and much cheaper cost of living.

I pay $3.35 for gas. What's the cost up there at the present time?

I paid $3.39 for premium yesterday. No idea what regular is.

I wouldn't be able to have the same income down in WV and live the same quality of life down there.

While operating a gas pump is not rocket science I have seen plenty of "educated" people who were lost when trying to pump their own.
Plus NJ employs lots of minimum wage pumpers that the pump your own states send to the welfare office.

NJ gas prices have always been cheaper than the pump your own states.

BTW most NJ stations will let their regular customers pump their own gas if it make them feel better.

I agree. When it's pouring outside or 10 degrees, I'll gladly sit in my car and STILL pay .50/gallon less than every other state in the union, including WV. Thank you, NJ refineries!
