Actually, smoking a cigarette poses no danger when you pump gas. The great danger is if you light it up ( the spark or the lighter's flame). Even a simple electrostatic discharge can start the gas vapor on fire, but the heat of a cigarette does not.

They are full service in Oregon too, they have to run out there every time one of us californians try and pump our own gas :mrgreen:
I have family in CA and they always make fun at me in OR for this... But really, who is getting the last laugh?
1) I never have to get out of my car
2) My hands never smell like gas
3) It's still cheaper than our CA neighbors

I know about Jersey. I fill up anytime I pass through or visit a relative. But to call it "full service" is a mistake.
My father owned a gas station in NY. I worked there when I was a kid. Full service is pumping gas, washing the windows, and checking the oil without asking.

Michigan used to be that way. At the station where I bought most of my gas they would open the hood pull out the dip stick wipe it off on a rag, stick it back in and pull it out again to check the level of the oil. If it was low they would show you the dipstick so you could see it needed oil. After adding a quart they woud check the dip stick again and then clean the windshield with the same oily rag! Looked good until the next rain then when the wipers smeared the oily film around the windshield you wish you had cleaned your own windshield!

There is a full service station in a little town I work in. The trouble is the guy smokes a cigarette while pumping your gas. I have to be desperate to go there, or wait until he is gone.
When I first came to live in Orlando I had never seen a pay first gas stattion. Stopped on Fairbanks Avenue to get gas. Put the hose into my gas tank and nothing. Went into the store was told you had to pay first. paid $10 (at 99cents a gallon) got back into my car without pumping the gas, pulled away and took the pump with me. Gas was shooting up in the air like a gusher. Fire trucks, cops appeared and put sand down everywhere/ I went into the store and the cashier handed me my money back. Never had the nerve to go there again! Now days the problem is cell phone use while pumping. Its illegal to do it but no one takes any notice.

Yeah when I lived in WA state we pumped our own gas. When I visited Oregon I tried to get out to pump my gas and the attendant freaked out on me! No one warned me about " not pumping gas." it was pretty funny.

Which was easier when the hood releases were on the front of the cars. But it was a lot more fun when you had to reach in through the pretty ladies legs to pull the hood release under the steering wheel, on the foreign or newer cars. :mrgreen:
