I'm originally from NJ and loved having them pump gas. Moved to FL and did the sitting in the car thing for 5 minutes. But got used to pumping gas in the 15 years there. Now in Virginia. I was at the gas station a couple days ago and we have a choice! However, I pulled up to a pump and the sign said...Full Service. NO! I pulled around to a self service pump. Ha!
