The Garden State is one of two states where it's illegal to fill 'er up yourself. Only gas station owners or employees can pump gas in New Jersey and Oregon. New Jersey passed the law making it illegal to pump your own gas in 1949. At the time, legislators felt it was too dangerous to have untrained people dispensing such a flammable liquid. Opponents of the law argue that removing it would lower cost of gas and make refueling much quicker and convenient. Proponents of the ban argue that it creates jobs and customers like full service.
