i thought of timing it because people here always denies that there's any wait in NJ because of this law. And i posted while waiting, so it's not like it took me extra time.

and i'm a nascar driver in my dreams, so every stop is a pit stop.

I yelled out the window, "Whoa, whoa!!!" and he just ranted something to me in a language other than English and continued pumping. I started to get out of the car and he finally stopped. He's lucky there wasn't gasoline pouring out everywhere.
Don't Top Off Your Gas Tank! | Mid-Atlantic Air Protection

that's another reason why i dislike having attendants pump my gas. every time they pump in that extra 10-20 cents, it's money in their pocket and no gas in your tank.

I don't have a gas cap! Something some folks don't even know about some of their own cars!

total time to get $12 of gas - 6 minutes.

It amuses me when I see people from NJ in other states figuring how to pump gas

Its almost as funny as watching drivers (usually females) popping hoods & trunks thinking it is the gas cover button
