From NJ, wouldn't change it.

No need to get out of your car and deal with a dirty pump. You can also get out to go in the store while they fill your tank, or some smaller places you can buy stuff right from the attendant. Gas doesn't cost any extra because of it either. We used to have some of the cheapest gas in the country before a recent tax hike. Basically a free service, no tipping either.

One downside is that if it is busy you might have to wait, but the guys are usually pretty quick.




You pay for that service whether you realize it or not.


Apparently not?

The cost can come from the margin for the gas station, not the consumer


Gas stations are a notoriously low-margin business. Realistically costs get passed on to the consumer.


LOL. Who do you think you’re buying the gas from and who sets the price?
