NJ and Oregon are the only two states left that forbid self-service. With
that said, I've lived in NJ all of my driving life and have never had
someone pump my gas for me. If I am at a new station, I usually ask the
attendent first and have never been told no.

As to the "stupid and corrupt" portion of your post, yes, we have stupid
and corrupt people here. Collectively, however, I would bet dollars to
doughnuts that NJ probably has the highest IQ out of the 50 states. Maybe
California would beat us, but not by much. The corruption is everywhere.
NJ just has a more effective way of flushing them out and reporting about
it in the news than other states do.

Matt's self-inflated IQ at least pulls the state of PA up around a good,
solid 80 or so.

I know a lot and I only know a couple that can't or won't pump their own
gas.

I was talking about the government as that is what makes the stupid laws.

But since you've stooped to personal insults, maybe my statement does
apply to the populace more broadly than just the politicians. Last IQ
test I had placed me in the top 1% of the population. Where do you rank?

Any of the large autopart stores will read the codes for free. Your car is
kinda old so you may have trouble finding one to do it, but it's worth a
try.

However, don't always trust their readings. I had Autozone read my
minivan and they read the last code that had fired from a few weeks
earlier, not the code that was current. They would have had me replace
a sensor that I had just replaced a couple of weeks earlier when, in
fact, the problem was something totally different.

I'd rather pay a real garage a few bucks to get it right.
