def a difference. shell fuel usually yields around 250-260 to a 1/2 tank. im not even at 175 and im just about at a 1/2 tank... **** carroll fuel..

 

Think it came down to in the 70's NJ considered that the general public was to stupid to pump their own....

But reallyI heard said it was because gas and its byproducts are toxic and dangerous so only those 18 yr old highly trained minimun wage guys should pump the gas

 

I have not been to jersey in 2-3 years but last time I was there the had to pump it?

 

i think oregon is the same

 

Oregon is the same for class xx flammables, diesel, however is not in that same class as gasoline so diesel guys can pump their own.

 

A hanful of places here let you pump your own diesel for some reason, perhaps the "class xx flammables rule" stated above. When it comes to gasoline, it is a big no-no to pump your own. Some people really get after you for it too (been there done that...) It does make for a good show when some of these late teen fools drive out of state and have to pump their own. I have been baffled by a pump or two in my life, but these people just stand there lost hahaha

Springer, you must be talking about the Valero on the Port Jervis side of High point mountain, that is actually Montague. Surprisingly, for being right off of Rt. 84, they tend to have rather competitive prices in comparison to places 20 minutes south on 23.
The one station that I frequent (also in Montague) has two sides of the pump, one for large cars and one for pickups, little guys. Noticable difference I caught was pump speed, large car side pumps much quicker, and when it kicks off, it would always spit diesel out of the filler neck pas the pump handle. Never used that one since

 

That be the one . All i know is the sign says Sussex when u get off exit 1 on 84 . Anytime I am going that way I fill up there cant beat the 20-25 cent difference from NY. I like the high speed pumps just have to know abbout how much fuel you are going to take never had it spill over.


The only time in NJ I pump gas is when I'm the bike - Most attendants dont even come over when your on the bike

 

Is that new? I was never given the option to pump my own diesel in Oregon until about a month or so ago.

 

I was back Eugene OR last year and they gave me Heck when I wanted to pump my own fuel. I had forgotten that they can be fined up to $10,000 if they are caught letting you pump your own fuel. I had forgotten about that law even thou I had lived their between 1986 and 2005.

 

Eugene... the Communism capital of the Pacific North West.

 

I have been told there is still some LSD at truck stops in the South, versus ULSD. Trucker said he gets about 6 mpg on LSD and only 5.5 or so on ULSD. Many on the site confirm ULSD gives less mileage.
I suspect USLD will be all there is after awhile.
Anyone still finding LSD? I founf some at Walmart in Port lavaca, TX.
Is Canada USLD?

 

In my neck of the woods, most of the fuel generally comes from the same place for almost all the stations, but there is something very different between Co-op and Fas gas fuels, the sprinter I drove had a measurable mileage drop on Co-op diesel, about 100 km/tank.
For gasoline, the "discount" stations premium was better than all the name brand performance, I an 20 psi in my car on cheapo premium, but would encounter knock with the ethanol blended higher oct premiums.

 

My dad was always real picky about pumping his own fuel and not getting any drips on the paint he would go ape! if he ever had to fuel in NJ.

 

I am pretty much the same way Chris, if the attendant comes over to help me I just try to ignore them and brush past them to the tank. They usually get the point when I ignore them and start mixing up 2 stroke and PS in the back seat while they stand there lol
