For 73 years, drivers in New Jersey have been barred from pumping their own gas. It’s the only state in the nation that doesn’t allow it at all. Now, after an aborted attempt in 2015, the state’s gas station industry is again pushing to repeal that law, endangering the state’s unofficial motto: “Jersey girls don’t pump their own gas.”
To top it off, fuel prices are way up — and could go higher — as sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine constrict the global oil supply. State Assemblymember Carol Murphy, a sponsor, said in a statement that her bill would give drivers “more options.”
