Also, someone asked about fractions of a penny. Well, you buy fractions of a gallon, so it doesn't matter what they charge; it will always end up being an extra fraction of a penny. They probably round up.
Unfortunately, biodeisel already is banned on public roads in the U.S.

i live in jersey where there has always been full service. I have been to a self service once and i ended up leaving the lid open. See how new jersey corrupts you?

i have never been to a full service gas station. man that would be sweet. there are some gas stations around here whereit's $3/gallon. i've been paying $2.45/gallon gas was cheaper back in the midwest and i got much higher mpg, up to 40. here in the west it's super expensive and i'm getting like 30mpg

I live about 100 yards from my workplace so I walk. I actually try to walk just about anywhere because I enjoy it anyway.

Here in Finland gas costs roughly 5.85 USD PER GALLON. Thankfully, I drive a moped.

Damn right. And it's very convenient, too. But I believe Oregon along with New Jersey are the only two states that do.

if gas cost $3 a gallon, it would be cheaper than it currently is in Denmark. stop your bitching - move to a place with reasonable public transport - or invest in a more efficient car.

damn straight. I can't wait till gas is 7.00 a gallon, then we'll see where all those big ass suv's and trucks will be. and why full service? then I'll just have to end up tippng those greasy fuckers. Americans are spoiled and wasteful.

yea, new jersey is full service. i mean, they'll pump it, but they wont wash your windows or anything. i live on the ny/nj border... not only does jersey pump it for you, but its also a good .20 cheaper then ny!! so yea, its worth a short drive over the border if u live around here in ny...
i currently get VERY good gas mileage with my golf.
and a VW TDI gets like 45mpg and will run off of biodiesal. they're just slow as shit, even the manual ones...
